Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to activate IR illuminators when using night vision?

The optimal time to activate IR illuminators is just before or at the start of an assault countdown. This prevents revealing your position and the number of friendly assets to potential enemy night vision users prematurely.

What is the risk of using IR illuminators too early in a tactical operation?

Activating IR illuminators too early can alert the enemy to your presence and the number of friendly forces involved. If multiple teams are using them, it can also reveal that all assets are focused on a single point.

Should IR illuminators be avoided if the enemy has night vision?

No, avoiding IR illuminators entirely because the enemy might have night vision is a tactical disadvantage. IR illuminators provide a significant capability that the enemy may not possess, so strategic use is key.

What is the primary benefit of using IR illuminators with night vision?

IR illuminators enhance target acquisition and situational awareness in low-light conditions when using night vision. They provide a focused beam of infrared light, making targets more visible through the NVG.
