| Quadeye
panoramic night vision system is developed by Kollsman, an Elbit
Systems of America company. The system provides a panoramic
night vision goggles (PNVG) covering a central 40 deg. Binocular
field of view plus monocular vision of an additional 30 degrees
to either side.
The extended view is similar to the normal eye's peripheral
vision and reduces the need and degree to which panning the
head is needed when wearing goggles. Quadeye incorporates four
16 mm I2R, selectable by the user to show either the inner two
or the whole panoramic channel of four. The display also uses
projected HUD symbology from the helicopter's avionics or targeting
system and has a built-in HUD camera for mission recording and
debriefing. A four channel Quadeye adds 13 ounces (370 gram)
to existing ANVIS/HUD assembly and can be attached to any ANVIS
suitable helmet.
