Simulating Night Vision Goggle Effects in a Virtual Environment
Author: Robert J. Pleban
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Night vision
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
"This research examined the capabilities of virtual environments to simulate night vision goggle (NVG) effects. Different solutions for simulating NVG images were assessed. Two conditions simulated NVGs but used different software approaches. Two additional conditions simulated unaided night environments that required soldiers to wear NVGs. Four-man infantry teams conducted urban operation missions under each condition. Objective assessments were obtained on the number of events correctly detected and the average time required to detect an event. Subjective assessments of task difficulty and image fidelity were also made. No significant differences were found across night conditions for either event detection or time. Significant differences in task difficulty ratings occurred for movement, visual detection, and maintaining situation awareness. In general, tasks were more difficult to perform while wearing the NVGs compared to simulated versions of NVG images. Soldiers also ranked the conditions involving actual NVGs as more realistic. The unique contribution of virtual environments for night operations training may be at the entry level. However, specific image fidelity issues associated with the use of NVGs in simulated unaided night environments must be addressed if this approach is to be used as an effective training medium."--Stinet.

Night Vision Goggles in Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Helicopters
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 91
Book Description
This document addresses the potential use of night vision goggles (NVGs) by the emergency medical service (EMS) industry. Key issues analyzed are the night environment, physiology of the eye, characteristics of night vision devices, maintenance of the NVG, and night operations. Pilots from the government and EMS industry participated in a flight program at the FAA technical Center to assess the capabilities and utility of NVGs in EMS scenarios. The results of the tests are incorporated in the recommendations of this document. Information produced by other government agencies, with extensive experience with NVGS, was reviewed for use in this application and incorporated into the text. This investigation concludes that NVGs are a viable tool during en route and terminal operations during certain EMS scenarios. The NVG, when properly used, can increase safety, enhance situational awareness, and reduce pilot workload and stress normally associated with night operations. Rotorcraft, Night Vision Goggles, Night Flying, Emergency Medical Service.

Book Description
7026(*NIGHT WARFARE, *EYEGLASSES), EFFECTIVENESS, NIGHT VISION, COMBAT SURVEILLANCE, SPECIFICATIONS, SIMULATORS, TEST METHODS, RELIABILITY*GOGGLES, *NIGHT VISION, NIGHT DRIVINGThe present report addresses the overall utility of the night vision goggles. Military effectiveness of the goggles over the unaided eye for night driving, close-order operations, patrol, and combat surveillance was evaluated by field experimentation. Identification of optical, electro-optical, and human-related factors was done through laboratory simulation and bench-test evaluations. Alternative approaches, as well as electro-optical specifications for individual night vision aides, were considered and evaluated. The 40 degrees FOV Night Vision Goggles provide a dual (passive-active), open-hatch, night-driving capability for armored vehicles. (Author Modified Abstract).
