Night Vision Operators Course - I

Night Vision Operators Course - I introduces the students to the world of image intensifying devices. Our course is designed to equip students with the basic knowledge and confidence to operate in a low light/no light environment. This is not just a shooting course. Students will run through various drills to ensure that they understand not only the limitations and capabilities of the equipment, but their own limitations and capabilities as a night vision operator.

Prerequisites: Students should posses a basic level of understanding of firearms safety, marksmanship, and weapons handling prior to enrolling in this course. Day fire will be conducted to validate the student’s skills prior to conducting the low light/no light phase.
