Enhanced Night Vision Goggle (ENVG) - PM Soldier Sensors and Lasers

Project Manager Soldier Sensors and Lasers (PM SSL) provides Soldiers with improved lethality, mobility, and survivability in all weather and visibility conditions. Soldier-borne sensors and lasers enhance the Soldier's ability to see in all battlefield and lighting conditions, to acquire objects of military significance before the Soldier is detected, and to target threat objects accurately for engagement by Soldiers or guided munitions. These systems provide critical, on-the-ground direct support to U.S. forces.

Product Manager Soldier Maneuver Sensors (SMS) provides Soldiers with products for enhanced vision, improved targeting, and greater lethality. Development of the Enhanced Night Vision Google (ENVG) is one example of PEO Soldier's leadership in this area. The ENVG, initially fielded to units supporting Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom in FY09, provides the individual Soldier with enhanced situational awareness day or night in all weather and degraded battlefield conditions. The ENVG is a helmet-mounted passive device that combines scene data from a low-light level sensor and a long wave sensor into a single, integrated image.

0:49 - 0:56.. what?

@joeracer302 at least this is how it was explained when I was in the Army. Personally I think they started making them, realized they had screwed up, and then made up the story about symbolism that sounds good.

@LibertyCaps2012 They aren't upside down, they're just flip-flopped from the normal design (stars in the left side). The standard position for US Flag on Army uniform has the stars on the right side, because the patch goes on the right shoulder the stars face the front of the uniform. This is to signify that the flag is streaming to the rear, because in combat you would be running forward towards the enemy and not away from them.

WTF Did my eye divisive me or did all the U.S. Flags are upside down ?

[OmegaDragoon]

Excellent technology development. Too bad Battlefield3's NV scope doesn't do the same thing as this scope anymore thanks to the recent CoD patch for the crybabies.
