With better eyes in the sky and on the ground, soldiers soon will see the battlefield more clearly than ever. Thanks to sensor innovations, screen improvements, faster digital processing and other advances, military imaging systems will capture and reveal critical information that cannot be caught or displayed today. Night-vision light-enhanced photography showing US Army Sgt. 1st Class Arnold Stone, 1st Platoon, Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 108th New York Army National Guard, wearing his AN/PSV-7D night-vision goggles while using a handheld radio to call for a situation report.

    Glossary
    digital camera
    A camera that converts a collected image into pixels that are black or white digital or shades of gray. The digital data may then be manipulated to enhance or otherwise modify the resulting viewed image.
    hyperspectral imaging
    Hyperspectral imaging is an advanced imaging technique that captures and processes information from across the electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike traditional imaging systems that record only a few spectral bands (such as red, green, and blue in visible light), hyperspectral imaging collects data in numerous contiguous bands, covering a wide range of wavelengths. This extended spectral coverage enables detailed analysis and characterization of materials based on their spectral signatures. Key...
    microdisplay
    A microdisplay is a miniature electronic display technology that is designed to project visual information onto a small screen. Unlike traditional displays, microdisplays are typically very compact and often used in applications where size, weight, and power consumption are critical factors. These displays can be based on various technologies, including liquid crystal display (LCD), organic light-emitting diode (OLED), digital light processing (DLP), and others. Key characteristics and...
    screen
    The large, usually flat surface onto which an image is projected for viewing. May be reflecting or transmitting (rear projection).
    sensor
    1. A generic term for detector. 2. A complete optical/mechanical/electronic system that contains some form of radiation detector.
    spectral response
    Measure of a detector's signal during exposure to radiation of a constant power level and varying wavelength.
    visible
    That term pertaining to the spectral region that can be perceived by the eye.
