Three experiments were conducted during 1989 by the U.S. Coast Guard Research and Development (RD) Center to evaluate night vision goggles (NVGs) for their effectiveness in detecting small targets at night. Three types of NVGs were evaluated: the AN/AVS-6 Aviators Night Vision Imaging System (ANVIS) NVG was tested onboard Coast Guard HH-3 and Ch-3 helicopters, and the AN/PVS-5C and AN/PVS-7A NVGs were tested onboard 41-foot Coast Guard utility boats (STBs). Simulated persons in the water (PIWs), 4- and 6-person life rafts, 18- and 21-foot white boats, and white, personal flotation device (PFD) strobe lights were employed as targets during realistically-simulated search missions. A total of 1,490 target detection opportunities were generated during the experiments. These data were analyzed to determine which of 25 search parameters of interest exerted a statistically-significant influence on target detection probability. Keywords: Search and rescue, Night vision, Night vision goggles, Sweep width, Unlighted targets. (JS)
