Overview: This paper deals with the advanced night vision device, the Panoramic Night Vision Goggle (PNVG) that presents the wearer with a large horizontal field of view (100 degrees) by combining the output from multiple image intensifier tubes. This significantly complicates the testing and evaluation of this state-of-the-art device. This paper involves certain, new tests that were required to characterize parameters to current design rather that that were considered insufficient to fully characterize conventional night vision device parameters. This paper discusses the optical performance testing of the PNVG, concentrating primarily on four night-vision-device parameters: field of view, visual acuity, eyepiece diopter setting, and image discontinuity.
