OK Chris, you can write in your paper that PKC said that the US doesn't have technological secrets, and that it shares everything with everyone else ever.

dont get bitter and attempt to put words in my mouth coz you lost the argument now. tsk tsk.
chris, instead you should listen to Ocean_Drive, and work out fully how the intergalactic government has infiltrated our earth governments, and its developing secret advanced weaponry in the desert which they're never ever going to use because theyre worried someone will steal it, but theyre developing that technology anyway. you know, for use on a rainy day.
then i think you should investigate exactly what happened to Ocean_Drive's sister, kidnapped by strange beings all those years ago. |

| 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. :wtf: |

sorry jonson, ill have to disagree

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. |

sounds to me as if there was a gradual implementation and improvement in technology since the 1950s. |

I dunno. It's just the feeling I get. Are you a black dude? I'll need to see some pics for proof either way. |

Why, what year did the Military start using it regularly. :conf: |

meaning, the technology wasn't hidden away to keep it from the soviets, it was merely impractical until a much later stage than the very first prototypes.
