Holosun Introduces Night Vision and Thermal Sights

From Guns.com:

The MRS line of optics is really where Holosun is making waves in the community, setting themselves apart. Starting off, the MRS TH is a digital thermal optic that can record, zoom from 1-8x, change the intensity of the screen, and change the color of the thermal (white hot, black hot, etc.) 

The MRS NV is the night vision version of the rifle optic, offering the same features as the thermal. The NV also includes an IR illuminator on the side of the optic.

DARPA Looking For Lighter Night Vision Goggles

From KitUp:

The Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) said today’s night vision goggles are too heavy and cumbersome for troops and have led to short term and long term neck injuries.

Anti-Nightvision camouflage

“A demonstration video of the “Ghost” camouflage technology by german company Texplorer GmbH (Now Blücher Systems GmbH)

Developed in cooperation with the German army , this material reduces the thermal signature of soldiers and vehicles and is additionaly hard to spot on rest-light intensifiers aswell as rest-light multiplicators.

It is also available as sheets to cover thermal hotspots of vehicles like tanks.

In combination with conventional camouflage measures (camo nets) it is possible to successfully conceal vehicles such as tanks, trucks, planes and helicopters on ground or airborne FLIR imagery and other night vision optoelectronic devices.”
