Well My Grandpa was exposed to the first night vision goggles in the 50's when he was an Admiral in the Navy. Then there was a select group of non military people who made the decision to keep it secret so the commies didnt get ahold of it. I guess it didnt get available to our special forces until the late 1970's & early 80's.

Generation I Amplification: 1,000x The early 1960's was witness to the beginning of passive night vision. Technological improvements included vacuum tight fused fiber optics for good center resolution and improved gain, multi-alkali photocathodes and fiber optic input & output windows. GEN I devices lacked the sensitivity and light amplification necessary to see below full moonlight, and were often staged or cascaded to improve gain. As a result, GEN I systems were large and cumbersome, less reliable, and relatively poor low light imagers. They were also characterized by streaking and distortion. Generation II Amplification: 20,000x The development of the Microchannel Plate (MCP) led to the birth of Generation II devices in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Higher electron gains were now possible through smaller packaging, and performance improvements made observation possible down to 1/4 moonlight. The first proximity focused microchannel plate (MCP) image intensifier tube was an 18mm used in the original AN/PVS-5 NVG. Generation II+ provides improved performance over standard Gen II by providing increased gain at high and low levels. Generation II+ equipment will provide the best image under full moonlight conditions and is recommended for urban environments. Generation III Amplification: 30,000 - 50,000x The current state-of-the-art, the Generation III intensifier multiplies the light gathering power of the eye or video receptor up to 30,000 times. Requiring over 460 manufacturing steps, the GEN III intensifier is typically characterized by a Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) photocathode, which is grown using a metal organic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE) process. The photon sensitivity of the GaAs phtocathode extends into the near-infrared region, where night sky illuminance and contrast ratios are highest. Sealed to an input window which minimizes veiling glare, the photocathode generates an electron current which is proximity focused onto a phosphor screen, where the electron energy is converted into green light which can then be relayed to the eye or sensor through an output window. |

| Originally posted by pkcRAISTLIN except the government utilises those secrets everyday (and yes, sometimes they pass it to other governments). except of course that the drug companies DO share their products, by selling them on the open market. they dont have top-secret drugs out the back sitting around collecting dust do they? no, they R&D then sell. same as the US govt R&Ds and then applies. give me ONE example of this ever happening in the US. the US develop technology and then put it to use. there arent super-spaceships awaiting the "right time" to be unleashed on an enemy. sorry to break this to you. its crazy what you kids will believe  |
and you know how to make a drug just from buying it? we should make a team then
Love the fact google moon if you try zoom in too close it goes to cheese graphic.
Wonder if they ever were on the moon?

of course they were. come on, lets not get silly.
