covert IR lighting enables
convoys to drive at speed

Night Vision Goggles (NVG) are a significant element in night operational capability, allowing drivers to see at night. Custom designed Night Vision Lighting systems from Oxley add a further dimension to this capability, allowing drivers to see further, drive faster and with reduced risk of damaging the vehicle. By using Oxley filtering techniques to modify vehicles to be used in night time operations, driver safety is greatly improved. Incidents such as the drivers view through the goggle being obliterated by a warning light flaring are virtually eliminated.

Installing a complete Oxley Night Vision lighting suite will significantly enhance the driving capabilities of any vehicle, on the darkest of nights, in conditions of heavy overcast and in low reflectivity terrain. With these driving lights fitted, vehicles have the advantage of driving at normal daylight speeds, whilst using Night Vision Goggles at night. The lights produce a carefully tailored beam shape which has been designed to illuminate a precise area in front of the vehicle and maximise the performance of the goggle. They also maintain a low NVG signature which reduces the risk of detection by the enemy.

Day time speeds with NV goggles
Enhanced night time operational capability
Drive safely in convoy
Covert brake lights reduce accidents
Excellent NVG visibility

Driving safely in convey at night, while using Night Vision Goggles is now possible with Oxley covert Convoy Lights. These low intensity lights significantly enhance the driver’s perception of distance and reduce the risks of running into the vehicle in front. Additional functions can be added: Flashing one convoy light provides a direction indicator and bright covert diodes are used as brake lights.

A simple solution to a ‘role-fit’ requirement is covert filter covers which fit onto existing driving lamps. These allow the customer to select the appropriate trade-off between covertness and the NVG visible range.

Infra-read secure covers
There are operational scenarios where vehicle lights must not be detected by an NVG-equipped enemy. IR secure covers are the solution, removing the near IR energy and providing a dim visible green output from the headlights or driving lights.

Oxley has been at the forefront of developing NVG technology and continues to guarantee the highest standards of production, customer service and after sales support. With on-site test and production and dedicated coating facilities, Oxley has a close working relationships with their customers, provides consistent after sales customer and engineering support and ISO9000 and other relevant standards certified.
