Technological improvements even-
tually resulted in greatly improved
infrared night vision devices that
could be used on the M1 and M14 Jim Sursely
ri es. Later “passive” night-vision
devices using highly ampli ed ambi-
ent light, such as moonlight and even
star light, for night vision capability
were developed and saw use primarily
with the M14 and M16 ri es. Today,
the U.S. military makes extensive
use of a host of modern night vision
devices and their utilization is gener-
ally taken for granted.
