They still have digital NODs for their camera for near dusk time

its vastly more useful to them to be able to see in color in the dark you fucking retard

yeah digital nightvision for aircraft will be big I think

Civilian adoption of 6.8 GPMGs will force the hand of the <@&559943292029239296> to adopt an m4 replacement

@CTL IIRC that's for high-end bulky systems, and no one here has an apache to stick a new DNVG on

if you think any defense companies care about being competitive on the civi market youre straight up brain dead/

@zxSkeletorxz btw can't remember if I asked but how did my photonis tube hold up compared to gen 3 tubes in similar weather to what we went out in? I'm trying to get a feel for how gimped gen 2+ is in no starlight conditions

Personal wearable digital NVG's are a pretty much private market thing

duh

especially in terms of 'actually available to non mil'

@CDRCC nah, the IVAS program is a fixed billion dollar program that uses digital nvgs

after using my friends anvis 9 tube its pretty gimped

I'm going to crip walk on your poor ass

the military has better options available right now moron

@CDRCC

<:woah:559943879298777098> 📈 👊🏿 👱🏿‍♂️

his l3 anvis tube has like zero noise in pure darkness

Digital NODs ontop of a HUD and thermals

yeh. Plate wasn't even visible to me without using the illuminator

Literally what the army is going for

@CTL lemme look at that real quick

yeah, and using a similar WP tube we had I couldnt see him but he could see me kinda deal

We've been saying IVAS for the whole conversation

Are you fucking retarded?

It's basically a program for a google glass type headset for HUD/augmented reality, with integrated day/night optics @CDRCC

First article I saw on it only mentioned digital thermal? Is NVG in as well, just not mentioned?

damn, is the l3 anvis tube really that powerful?

Currently it's just a big VR headset for training, and yes

we're on stp 1

I mean, that's a fair point I guess. The price point for a headset with those kinds of capabilities would be 20k+ though, and absolutely not available for civ market for next 10-20 years

me on the left

how my nods finna be lookin in 2025

its pretty powerful yeah.

Yeah, that's my point, is that digital development is already at a fixed rate due to mil spending and demand
