Gen 1 requires IR lights to work. Not super effective in tactical situations, especially if you suspect the enemy has their own NVG’s. BUT, install a few IR lights facing out around your house, and not only will you be able to see decently with your Gen 1’s from your windows in a dark house, but you get the added benefit of blinding people looking towards your house with their Gen 1’s. Super cheap, super easy, fairly effective for home defense.

Gen-2 is MUCH closer to Gen-3. The jump from Gen-1 to Gen-2 back in the Early 70s was HUGE. Gen-2 does however fall short compared to Gen-3 in other ways, Such as EAGC, Auto Gate Technology's & and the use of a Gallium Arsenide Photocathode.

Older versions, like we had in the late 80s early 90s was bad about this. Theyd try to adjust, but the tech just wasn't there yet. If it got too bright, like arty flares, personnel flares, or if someone in an AC130 or ground mounted laser and it caught you right before the NODs could adjust the filter, and they ate batteries like candy at halloween. The depth perception was really bad too. We would all have stories of running into trees, getting hit in the face with branches, and the mounts were horrible. Nothing helmet mounted back then. Youd put em on your head with this harness that was about useless, especially if you were doing a bounding overwatch or combat rush against a position. The helmet then went over the harness. Im glad someone decided to fund projects to further the tech.
