The military helmet night vision is a low-light night vision system mounted on the helmets of infantry or paratroopers, which is a device that can survey the enemy in night combat. Night vision can help combat soldiers observe, search, aim and drive vehicles during night operations, and is not limited by illuminance, and can be observed in all black, which plays a huge role in night operations in the military field, and is the equipment that is not received or lacking in modern war.

Low-light night vision is widely used in modern war, such as in the Gulf War in 1991, the US-led multinational forces equipped with advanced night vision, in the smoke and sand filled the night, can find each other before the Iraqi army tanks, and fire guns, and the number of Iraqi army casualties without the use of night vision reached more than 100,000 people. The US-led multinational forces suffered more than 4,000 casualties, and the multinational forces achieved an overwhelming victory at a small cost. The Gulf War changed the traditional mode of operation and produced a strong shock to the traditional concept of war formed since the Second World War. The biggest feature is that this is a high-tech war, and the multinational forces led by the United States generally used advanced technology. U.S. aircraft, tanks, infantry combat vehicles and even individual weapons are equipped with night vision equipment such as infrared night vision devices, laser night vision devices and infrared thermal imaging equipment, which enables the weapons and equipment of the U.S. military to play the same combat effectiveness at night as in the day, so that the U.S. military can continuously fight day and night, more effectively attack the Iraqi army, and promote the process of battle faster. It can be seen that night vision equipment plays an important role in modern warfare.

It can be seen from modern war that most attacks in modern war are launched at night. In the stage of ground operations, ground troops frequently launch attacks at night relying on the advantages of night vision equipment. The combination of thermal imaging night vision technology and weapons and equipment will further improve the effectiveness of weapons and equipment in obtaining information, implementing strikes and cooperating in night and bad weather conditions. Today, night vision technology has become an important part of the current monitoring technology, over the years, on the basis of direct monitoring technology, night vision technology has been rapidly developed, and has penetrated into industry, agriculture, national defense, public security, oil and various sectors and areas of the national economy and life. Night vision as a necessity for outdoor work at night, has gradually entered other areas of people, even in the game, the experience is also excellent, like the popular mobile game eat chicken, the use of night vision in night mode can clearly see the surrounding environment and the situation of the enemy, see the enemy can find a good position to actively attack, rather than passive blind running. It is also popular in night mode.
