DUAL TUBE NIGHT VISION DEVICE

The dual tube night vision device comprises a pair of independently pivoting night-vision monoculars connected to a bridge member. Each night-vision monocular is attached to the bridge member by a rotating arm and comprises a pod containing an image intensifier tube. Each arm allows the attached night-vision monocular to move through a rotational travel path, between a stowed position and a deployed position. The dual tube night vision device is configured to detect when the night-vision monoculars are, individually or collectively, moved to a stowed position and then temporarily cut off power to the stowed monocular(s) to increase battery runtime. Power is automatically restored, individually or simultaneously, to the night-vision monoculars when they are rotated back to deployed positions. The dual tube night vision device uses one or more accelerometers to detect when the night-vision monoculars, individually or collectively, are moved to the stowed position and the deployed position.

Flash and streak detection and persistent identification using bi-directional detector/display overlay

An optical system has an underlying device configured to provide output light. A transparent optical device optically coupled to the underlying device transmits light from the underlying device through the transparent optical device to display a scene. The transparent optical device includes detector elements formed in an active area to detect light portraying at least a portion of the scene. The underlying device has transparent regions formed in the active area to allow light to pass through from the underlying device to a user. The optical system further includes an image processor that processes images produced using light detected by the detector elements to identify a specific instance of light in the scene. The image processor causes display elements in the active area of the transparent optical device to display an indicator, in the scene, correlated to the specific instance of light.

NIGHT VISION SYSTEM

One example illustrated herein includes an optical device including a bridge assembly configured to connect two or more monocular tube assemblies and at least two monocular tube assemblies. Each monocular tube assembly includes a housing, an alignment member attached to the housing, the alignment member providing an indication of an optical axis of the monocular tube assembly, and an interface component that links the housing to the bridge assembly, the interface component comprising an adjustment mechanism that enables adjustment of the monocular tube assembly relative to the bridge assembly, such that the adjustment mechanism can be used in conjunction with the alignment member to align different optical axes. Aspects of the present disclosure may be implemented to allow for field-alignment of the optical device.
