hmm as i understand it, the british aircrew NVG’s are powered by lithium cells these days, and the battery pack is formed to roughly the shape of the back of the helmet. the battery pack affixes to the helmet to balance the weight of the bheavy optics fitted over the front of the helmet.

given the clunkiness of the design (beaded chain securing battery cap! ) I might be tempted to say that they are first gen american aircrew NVG’s. I am no historian mind and pictures of aircrew with NVG’s dont exaclty spring to mind, of anything of any age.

another possible clue as to ownership might go to the rubber eyepieces which seem to be shaped to fit onto a spherically shaped clear visor ala fast jet aircrew.

but then again….fast jet aircrew dont want their C-Cells running out on them mid-flight…..and again given the robust design it is also possible that they are for infantry or tank use.

just educated guesses

whose sub is in the second pic, that with A900

is it a brit boat?? interested in the fairing on the rear of the sail.

any ideas?? towed array??

You get what you pay for srbin. lets just put it that way.

I can find you a B2 on a global power mission…given a low enough freq radar.

ahh active cancellation is being looked at by a couple of countries, but theres no real point, its too difficult and if you do get it wrong you look like a light house…..just too many variables to get right all at once…….

now what can we do with LADAR’s that we cant do with RADAR’s??

fuel additives control contrail formation I understand.

oh…..and dont fly in contrail forming layers….

well get to it asap mixtec……

k, I am willing to go with this mixtec…..make them work I want to see the aircraft hit its performance parameters, when you can prove to me that it can be done then come on back and I will select a large hat to devour.
