The U.S. Army’s Lancer Brigade took to Twitter last month to post a brief video of its new enhanced night vision goggle-binoculars that looks like something out of a sci-fi thriller.
Troops with thin, illuminated borders can be seen taking positions and firing artillery that looks like beams of light streaking across the frame. You have never seen night vision like this! the tweet read.
The tweet said the goggles are part of an effort to modernize the fighting force.

Gizmodo, the tech website, reported that the Lancer Brigade, which operates out of Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Wash., was using the ENVG-B goggles that were designed to give U.S. troops an edge on a battlefield.

Editor s take: As impressive as the tech is, it’s probably safe to assume that this isn’t the cutting edge of what the US military has in its arsenal. The absolute latest and greatest often stays out of the public spotlight as to give those on the front lines an advantage over their adversaries.
The US Army’s Lancer Brigade recently shared footage of what it’s like for soldiers using enhanced night vision googles / binoculars on the battlefield. If your idea of modern night vision involves the grainy green and black imagery often depicted in video games and movies, well, be prepared to be amazed.

The US Army’s Lancer Brigade showed footage of the world as seen through the latest in night vision technology, and it’s a major improvement on the familiar blurry green visuals. By swapping the standard green tubes for white (along with other tweaks), the new Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binoculars (ENVG-B) clearly show people and objects outlined in a glowing light, almost like a video game objective.
