This Is What Color Night Vision Looks Like And It Stands To Be A Game Changer - Color Night Vision.jpg

Wondering how long a combat aircraft or drone application is next...thinking
they're prolly already experimenting.

I had to use the 'starlight scope' in Vietnam during those nights with I got
Officer of the Guard duties along the Ben Hoa perimeter...sheesh...green images
and since it was classified, you had to sign for it before being allowed to use
it.

There is absolutely no debate that increasingly compact night vision optics and
cameras have fundamentally changed the nature of warfare, as well as law
enforcement and a host of other activities. But as revolutionary as these
systems have been, they have historically been limited to producing monochrome
imagery that can make it difficult to determine many important details at even
modest ranges. In recent years, however, there have been significant
developments in technology that makes it possible to see in the dark and in full
color, making it easier to quickly identify items of interest and drastically
increasing a user's overall situational awareness.

For decades now, there has been steady research and development into what is
commonly described as “color night vision.” In the past 10 years, a number of
different manufacturers have begun to sell more practical systems on the
commercial market and the technology is already in use in military and security
applications, among others.

Las Vegas-headquartered SPI Corporation’s X27 Osprey full motion video camera is
a great example of how far the technology has come, providing impressive color
imagery in very low-light-level conditions. It’s hard to believe that the videos
below were shot at midnight in their respective locations.
