The New C Standard

Night Vision Terminology & Definitions

Generations, quote from Morovision Night Vision
Two technologies are referenced as night vision; image intensification and thermal imaging (see definitions). Because of cost and the fact that image intensifier scenes are easier to interpret than thermal (thermal images show targets as black or white - depending upon temperature - making it more difficult to recognize objects), the most widely used night vision aid in law enforcement is image intensification (l²) equipment. Developments in the l² technology are categorized in terms of "generations". To date, there have been four generations of l² devices, identified as Gen 0, Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 3. Developmental laboratory work is on-going, and the U.S. military may designate the resulting as Gen 4. However, no definition for Gen 4 presently exists.
