SMART TECHNOLOGY

2007-07-03T08:20:00.001-07:00

In 1997 ATN introduced our revolutionary patented Smart Technology Night Vision Weapon sights. The success and demand for these scopes went far and beyond our expectations. Throughout 1997 we were constantly asked if Smart Technology was available in all of our scopes and binoculars, not just our weapon sights. Today, we are proud to introduce our full line of Smart Technology Night Vision Devices.
What is "Smart Total Darkness Technology" you may ask? Smart Total Darkness Technology finally provides the user total control in the hi-tech industry of night vision. The "Smart Series" night vision scopes were designed with the latest computer technology currently available. A micro-computer is built into each of our scopes providing advanced features and comfort of use currently, unparalleled in the world of night vision scopes. Using "smart" sensors and electronics, we have incorporated features into our scopes allowing them to out last similar technology scopes (even our own earlier versions) by more than 5 times. This is accomplished by having the on board computer system identify the users intention of looking through the scope.

When the scope is brought to the users eye the scope will automatically turn on. When removed from the eye the scope will turn off. The user will never have to worry about turning his/her scope on or off. Unlike other night vision scopes that are sensitive to light and can be easily damaged by accidentally leaving the scope on, the "smart" series scopes automatically sense when they are no longer being used. Even when left turned on in their case they will shut off and enter their "sleep mode". All the controls are digital, providing precise operation and a greater reliability then standard switches. Even if your batteries are low, don't worry the "smart" series will let you know.

Our Smart Series Weapon sights additionally have features such as, a simple 3 button control panel that allows the user to easily adjust such important features as light amplification, lit-reticle brightness, and infra-red magnitude. Color coded LEDs let you know the mode of operation you are using. The more advanced models feature a remote control. This allows the user to place the 3 button control anywhere on the weapon, for quick and easy access.

In the world of Night Vision there is the status quo and there is the cutting edge. ATN products with "Smart Technology" bring you the cutting edge in performance and features. Do not settle for the status quo when the hottest new products in the industry are at your finger tips.

Generations of NV Equipment

2007-05-31T02:26:00.001-07:00

Generation 0

The first application for night vision was for American snipers in World War II. Nicknamed the "sniperscope" and "snooperscope", they were designated the M1 and M3 infrared night sighting devices. They are simple devices that do not produce a net amplification of light, but rather allow a user to see near-infrared light. Along with beam filters, this allowed snipers to illuminate their target without their target being aware of it. However, night vision became employed by both sides, and as a result the "active" IR beams began to betray the sniper's position.
Generation 0 devices took a lot of power to use, for both the tube and the IR illuminator, had a very distorted picture due to a cone-shaped electrode design, and a short tube life due to the high electrical voltage. Generation 0 featured a photocathode made of a mixture of silver, caesium, and oxygen called S-1 which provided approximately 60 mA/lm sensitivity to light.

Generation 1

Generation 1 devices are also called "Starlight scopes", and were a tremendous improvement upon generation 0. They are much more power efficient, amplify light better, and produced a superior image. These devices were initially used in the Vietnam War, but were unable to function well without moonlight until heavy and bulky 3-stage tubes were deployed. Generation 1 also used a different photocathode, S-20, which provided about three times the photo sensitivity of Generation 0.
However, generation 1 devices still have a relatively short tube life, and a single stage device does not amplify light much better than a dark-adjusted eye unless multiple stages are used. They still carry the benefit of being able to use a somewhat "invisible" IR illuminator, though.
Generation 1 remains one of the most popular types of night vision today. Despite its poor performance, its low cost entices people who are looking to pick up night vision as a toy.

Generation 2

Generation 2 was a major technological breakthrough. Although the photocathode material, S-25, wasn't much of an improvement over Generation 1's S-20, generation 2 devices introduced the microchannel plate (MCP, see: Micro-channel plate). The microchannel plate consists of a bundle of thousands of tiny glass fibres fused together in parallel, sliced transversely, and polished on both faces. The core glass is then removed to create the micro-channels which are coated with a material to promote electron multiplication. Electrons impinging on one side of the plate tend to travel along the channels, perpendicular to the plate's faces, thus preserving a coherent image. This plate is situated behind the photocathode and amplifies the number of electrons that pass through it using a cascade effect. For every one electron that enters the plate, another approximately 10,000 electrons are added to it. This allows the tube to operate on a much lower voltage, as acceleration is not the principal source of light amplification, increasing battery life, tube life, and effectively eliminating distortion. As good as Generation 2 was, though, it was soon to be overshadowed by a new photocathode material.

Generation 3

Generation 3 is the latest "generation" and is in use by the U.S. military and others. It is essentially generation 2 technology with a new photocathode material—gallium arsenide and a better MCP. Gallium arsenide provides far better response to near-infrared light. This is very important as the majority of starlight is in the IR spectrum. However, this comes at a cost of decreased sensitivity to blue light.
Generation 3 tubes provide significantly better resolution and sensitivity and less noise, and have better overall light amplification than generation 2. Because it can be operated entirely passively outdoors, this allows soldiers to see at great distance at night without betraying their position as generations 0 and 1 technology did with IR illuminators.
There have been recent developments in image intensification tubes, modifying generation 3 devices to be "gated and filmless". This allows for even better resolution and sensitivity, and less "blooming" in urban environments. Some manufacturers have begun calling this "generation 4", but this term has not been officially adopted by the U.S. military.
One common misconception about night vision is that the battery life is extremely short. While this may have been true with generation 0 devices, modern generation 2 and 3 tubes can run for 40 hours or more using a single AA battery, using less power than a flashlight.

Later Generations

There are newer night vision systems available. Generation 3 Ultra and Generation 4 tubes exist, but most civilian equipment remains based on Generation 3 equipment and lower. Generation 3 Ultra and 4 still use MCP technology, but are designed to offer greater range and higher resolution.

Biological night vision

2007-02-27T01:51:00.001-08:00

In biological night vision, molecules of rhodopsin in the rods of the eye undergo a change in shape as light is absorbed by them. The peak rhodopsin build-up time for optimal night vision in humans is 30 minutes, but most of the adaptation occurs within the first five or ten minutes in the dark. Rhodopsin in the human rods is insensitive to the longer red wavelengths of light, so many people use red light to preserve night vision as it will not deplete the eye's rhodopsin stores in the rods and instead is viewed by the cones.

Some animals, such as cats, dogs, and deer, have a structure called tapetum lucidum in the back of the eye that reflects light back towards the retina, increasing the amount of light it captures. In humans, only 10% of the light that enters the eye falls on photosensitive parts of the retina. Their ability to see in low light levels may be similar to what humans see when using first or perhaps second generation image intensifiers.

Early Attempts at Night Vision Technology

2006-10-05T07:03:00.000-07:00

Military tacticians throughout history have seen the advantages of being able to maneuver effectively under the cover of darkness. Historically, maneuvering large armies at night carried such risks that it was rarely attempted.

During WW II, the United States, Britain, and Germany worked to develop rudimentary night vision technology. For example, a useful infrared sniper scope that used near-infrared cathodes coupled to visible phosphors to provide a near-infrared image converter was fielded. A small number, perhaps 300 Sniperscopes, were shipped to the Pacific sometime in 1945, but received very little use. Their range was less than 100 yards, and they were used mainly for perimeter defense. However this device had several disadvantages. The infrared sniper scope required an active IR searchlight that was so large it had to be mounted on a flatbed truck. This active IR searchlight could be detected by any enemy soldier equipped with similar equipment. The rifle-mounted scope also required cumbersome batteries and provided limited range.

However, the infrared sniper scope showed that night vision technology was on the horizon. Military leaders immediately saw many uses for this technology beyond sniping at the enemy under cover of darkness. An army equipped with night vision goggles, helmets, and weapons sights would be able to operate 24 hours a day. The Army Corps of Engineers, for example, would be able to build bridges and repair roads at night providing a measure of safety from airborne attack. The next challenge in night vision technology would be the development of passive systems that did not require IR searchlights that might give away a soldier's position to the enemy.

Eurosatory 06: New Apache Pilot’s Night Vision Sensor Adapted for Cargo, Utility Helicopters

2006-07-03T03:42:00.000-07:00

From Rotorhub.com

In early 2007, a cargo helicopter will fly with a fully-integrated Modernised Pilot’s Night Vision Sensor (M-PNVS), the same system that enables US Army Apache Longbow pilots to fly visually in total darkness, indeed the turret will be interchangeable with Apache M-PNVS turrets, according to Beth Garrity-Marchman, LM’s Director of Business Development for Rotary Wing Systems and Weapons. The system is being called Pathfinder and plans include offering it for Chinooks and Black Hawks for the US Army and export customers.

Marchman, a Chinook pilot and combat veteran, explained that LM is developing pathfinder to what she described as a potential operational requirement to improve safety and ease pilot workload in a variety of critical situations, including ‘brown-out’ and ‘white-out’ conditions. The long-wave thermal imager, she said, sees through the dust clouds that create brown-out conditions well enough to show a very distinct horizon even when very little else is visible. The US Army is examining the system, but hasn’t issued a formal requirement.

LM is working with integrated helmet providers to give customers a choice of displays. Marchman recommends a modern helmet that can exploit the sensor’s wide field of view, but will also offer customers other options such as showing the image on an integrated multifunction display or a stand-alone screen.

ATN Optical Quality

2006-02-24T05:15:00.000-08:00

OPTICS

Image quality depends on lens design, glass grade, manufacturing tolerances and coating. In order to be in line with well-known premium optical producers we could not cut any corners. ATN lenses are made from the highest-grade optical glass. Our optical designs are calculated with the latest computer software available. We measure our optical tolerances to .0001". We then multi-coat our lenses with our own proprietary coatings that are specifically designed to allow for maximum light transmission.

INNOVATION & EXCELLENCE

Regardless of how mach a person will spend for a scope, $30.00 or $1500.00, the basic design is typically the same. The Cam tube is placed and moved within Outer tube. The Adjusting system is held by one or two 7-pound springs. This has been the standard in the industry for many years.
ATN has established itself as the world leader of night vision riflescopes. We decided to transfer some of our creative night vision designs into our daytime scopes. Due to the lay-out of night vision riflescopes, reticles are 14 times smaller and 10 times more precise then daytime scopes. We used the same innovative "push and pull" mechanism with silicone padding that is in our night vision devices for the Professional series scopes. This created windage and elevation adjustments that are 10,000 % more reliable then other scopes with click adjustments of 1/8" MOA at 100 yards.
