RRRachel RauthJTJoshua R ThompsonMSManuel Segovia

Key Points

  • Investigating how night vision goggles impact cognition, gait, and tactical tasks.
  • Analyzed the effects of NVG on vision perception and marksmanship performance.
  • Evaluated changes in gait patterns during NVG use.
  • Discussed potential NVG training interventions to enhance performance.
  • Observed decreased marksmanship performance with NVG use due to altered perception.
  • Noted alterations in gait patterns when using NVGs.
  • Identified potential for NVG training to reduce injuries and improve performance.

Abstract

Performance decrements with NVG use are hypothesized to be primarily due to altered vision perception and increased metabolic demand affecting marksmanship performance and gait patterns. NVG training may minimize the risk of musculoskeletal injuries and improve operational performance.
