Description / Abstract:
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) discusses the
desired characteristics of night vision goggle (NVG) filters that
can be used with incandescent, electroluminescent (EL) and light
emitting diode (LED) light sources to achieve NVG compatible
lighting of aerospace crew stations. This document also discusses
the parameters that need to be considered when selecting a night
vision goggle/daylight viewing (NVG/DV) filter for proper contrast
enhancement to achieve readability in daylight.
The recommendations set forth in this document are to aid in the
design of NVG compatible lighting that will meet the requirements
of MIL-L-85762A and MIL-STD-3009.
Purpose
This document describes the functions and characteristics of NVG
filters used in NVG compatible lighting.
