According to Wikipedia, Night vision goggles is an optoelectronic device that allows images to be produced in levels of light approaching total darkness. The image may be a conversion to visible light of both visible light and near-infrared, while by convention detection of thermal infrared is denoted by thermal imaging. Militaries have been using NVGs for years to enable their members to be able to successfully complete night missions. NVGs are now coming to air ambulances. Giving first responders the ability to see at night will undoubtedly assist in saving more lives.

The $1.7 million project will install NVGs in three air ambulances with a fourth to be installed later.
