This field class is to get you using your Night Observation Device (NODS, Night Vision) and Thermal devices in a field, real-world environment . We will discuss pro’s and con’s of both devices as well as employment and applicability. A brief history of these devices and how they operate, along with discussion of any digital counterparts and their uses/shortcomings. Useful accessories that need to be explored will be demonstrated and tried out to allow you the most out of your devices.
This class will discuss and demonstrate the properties of your clothing, field gear, etc to IR illumination. Do you glow in the dark? Bring your field gear and clothing to see how they perform.
We have a variety of exercises and hiking activities to see just how well your devices work and their limitations. They are not the all-seeing eye of Modor.
We will be in the field so dress appropriately. Hiking/combat boots highly recommended. BDU’s or neautral clothing. Snacks and Fluids always. Bring, your weapons, field gear, NOD’s, Thermals etc. We will have some NOD’s and Thermals to try out or use for the class. This is not a shooting class so bring the ammo loadout you would normally patrol with.
Call with any questions. This is Rain or Shine.
