Night Vision for the U.S. Army
As I read just yesterday, the U.S. Army is funding two absolutely new projects to expand its use of night vision technology to detect improvised explosive devices. EOIR Technologies received delivery orders totaling $58 million. These technologies will definitely help provide U.S. soldiers and with the most advanced and efficient equipment available. This night-vision equipment can be used along with other imaging technology to locate signs that the ground in a specific area has been recently dug up and could be hiding buried improvised explosive devices.
