This document addresses the potential use of night vision goggles (NVGs) by the emergency medical service (EMS) industry. Key issues analyzed are the night environment, physiology of the eye, characteristics of night vision devices, maintenance of the NVG, and night operations. Pilots from the government and EMS industry participated in a flight program at the FAA technical Center to assess the capabilities and utility of NVGs in EMS scenarios. The results of the tests are incorporated in the recommendations of this document. Information produced by other government agencies, with extensive experience with NVGS, was reviewed for use in this application and incorporated into the text. This investigation concludes that NVGs are a viable tool during en route and terminal operations during certain EMS scenarios. The NVG, when properly used, can increase safety, enhance situational awareness, and reduce pilot workload and stress normally associated with night operations.

Night vision goggles (NVGs) are a head-mounted, head-steered sensor designed to allow an aviator to operate at night with increased operational capability and situation awareness. NVGs greatly enhance an aircrew's ability to conduct night operations and are used extensively in both rotary- and fixed-wing operations. NVGs provide an intensified image of scenes illuminated by ambient energy that exists in the night environment. NVGs (generation III) amplify energy in a certain portion of the electromagnetic spectrum 2,000-7,000 times. They are sensitive in the red and near infrared (approximately 600-900 nanometers). In fact, there is little to no overlap in the ranges of sensitivity of the human eye and NVGs. The resulting imagery has some special characteristics that influence human perception and operational employment that drive a requirement for realistic imagery to support simulation-based training and mission rehearsal.
