Well done @Charlet ! I consider it a good day if I can get out 200. Is the story for here, or just because?))

 

[Claire Yeon]

@systemcat I may be able to help; I'm all right on the subject, but more importantly I have friends who are extremely knowledgeable. What questions do you have?))

What was the exact name of the US used night vision goggles? And if a photograph exists of them, where might I find it? The gun scopes are easy to locate but that's not what I want, and Goggle won't show otherwise.

 

[systemcat]

Google ... it's been a long day.

My daily word count tends to be between 400 to 500 on prose work.

The general term the US uses is NOD (night optical device) the goggles are called AN/PVS with the first being the Starlight scope and PNV-57E Tanker goggles

[Jacqueline Hyde]

Parallel development of night vision was occurring in the United States. The M1 and M3 infrared night sighting devices, also known as the “sniperscope” or “snooperscope”, were introduced by the US Army in World War II. They were active devices, using a large infrared light source to illuminate targets for snipers.
