Development of Low-Light-Level Night Vision Equipment Abroad
The combat capability of a military at night is largely determined by the quality of low-light night-vision equipment.In contemporary military conflicts,various countries with sophisticated capabilities have been actively advancing low-light night vision equipment to achieve a substantial transition from"one-way transparency"to"exclusive control of the night."This study systematically reviews the global development history and technological progress of low-light night vision equipment,focusing on the progression and current state of development in three countries:the United States,Russia,and France.It also explores specific investments,technological innovation paths,and actual applications in the development of low-light night vision equipment across these nations.By comparing and analyzing the developmental experiences of various countries regarding low-light night vision equipment technology,this study offers a reference and inspiration for the development of low-light night vision equipment in China.This comprehensive analysis demonstrates that low-light night vision technology is crucial in augmenting the combat capability of the military at night and guaranteeing national security,indicating that low-light night vision technology will play a crucial role in the military domain in the future.
