Join us in London this December

1. About this masterclass:
Night Vision operations continue to grow in
importance with EASA/CAA/FAA licensing and
aircraft clearances being extended into civilian
air operations. The military has always had these
clearances since early 1970s. Training is still
generally carried out using the aircraft but with
some simulation. This masterclass looks at Virtual
Terrain Image Generation for Night Vision
Googles(NVGs) and provides interactive high-
fidelity simulation and training for both air and
ground operations, GLONASS in line with
announcements made in July.
Benefits of attending:
• Hear about the latest technology in training in
Night Vision Systems
• Have the opportunity to better formulate your
night vision training to better your squadron's
performance
• Have the opportunity to raise questions of
interest to you during group discussions
Who should attend?
Air and Ground NVG operations from both the
civil and military communities:
• Civilian search and rescue
• Helicopter emergency services
• Police
• Organisations that are looking to conduct NVG
operations
