I agree borther
The success of the aurora won't advance digital NVGs
Military contracts and R&D research is doing that
Digital NVG has existed for a long time. its still not good
>who the fuck in the military is buying digital NVG
The army
nobody who buys an 800 dollar something is going to go out running to buy a 2000 dollar something when they clearly do not care that there are well documented flaws with their 800 dollar toy
Have you seen helicopter optics?
they're buying thermals, or gen3 NVG
If a poorfag cant save up $2-3k for some gen 3 pvs14's then they dont deserve to be saved from their own retardation
or heard of IVAS?
those are thermals lul
Apache optics are FLIR
bruh the military is going to push digital nvg way more than civvies
@CDRCC The research and development of digital nvgs has already been fixed through an essentially endless budget from the Army, I doubt 1000+ sales on things they have to actually sell is meaningful compared to the billions the army is dropping on prototypes
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
<: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
