In July of 1999 the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) took delivery of the last of twelve panoramic night vision goggle (PNVG) systems. Data on these systems has been collected onboard a variety of aircraft including the F-15C, F-15E, F-16, A-10, F-117, C-17, C-5, C-130, and HH-60 aircraft. Data will continue to be collected on these aircraft as well as other platforms over the next 12 months In April of 2000 a follow-on development effort was initiated entitled 'Integrated Panoramic Night Vision Goggle' (I-PNVG). Lessons learned from the PNVG effort are being incorporated into the I-PNVG program wherever possible. Specific objectives to be addressed under I-PNVG effort are wide field-of-view, integrated laser protection, fit/comfort, image quality, integrated symbology/imagery display, field support, ejection/crash/ground egress safety, compatibility with existing systems, affordability, supportability, maintainability, producibility, and reliability. This paper will briefly discuss pilot comments about the PNVG, provide further detail of the I- PNVG objectives, and address I-PNVG design considerations.
