We will upgrade your night vision capabilities, modify your aircraft lighting, train your pilots and technical staff and provide Night Vision Goggles and helmets.
The purpose of Night Vision Goggles (NVG) is to allow aircrew to operate their aircraft visually at night. The piloting task is enabled by the wide field of regard of NVG, and assisted by the covert nature of these devices. The NVG’s alone are not effective unless the cockpit and external lighting is made compatible, as the lights affect the (NVG) image by ‘blooming out’ the view through the goggles. Basic and operational flight training is a must in any NVG project.
Rock Wings Ltd. offers a wide range of aircraft NVG compatible external and internal lighting upgrades, based on the cost-effective premise of modifying existing equipment.
Lighting Modification
Our in-house skilled and experienced NVG pilots and engineers allow the company to offer optimal NVG light adaptation for aircraft. Our tailor-made solutions cover customer’s specific requirements, budget issues, flight safety, mission and crew workload, tactical environment and needs.
Training
Flying with Night Vision Goggles (NVG) is not just a matter of "Buy and Fly". An instruction and training program is a must. Our well experienced NVG instructor pilots reserve officers in the Israel Air Force offer the most advanced and focused NVG flight instruction program.
