This paper deals with a development of night vision imaging system(NVIS) for the KO-1 aircraft. In the modern combat, NVIS has a tendency to be applied for night peculiar mission and pilot mission maximization. KO-1 aircraft, which was the first domestic applied NVIS, is forward air control acquired information of day/night enemy(foe) site and moving of enemy for low altitude flight. We have successfully finished a developmental requirement/criterion, development of system, and construction of test and evaluation through development of NVIS for the KO-1 aircraft. KO-1 aircraft is acquired timely initial operational capability.

A Decal Panel is developed for the Night Vision Imaging System of XKO-1 aircraft. The Decal Panel is a kind of lighting system kits and is installed on each system switch box in crewstation. The Decal Panel consists of upper panel made of polycarbonate and lower panel which is a printed circuit board. This paper includes the design, manufacture, test and evaluation of Decal Panel in addition to items and conditions of environmental test. Besides it is confirmed the Key for manufacturing a decal panel, is depth of paint, dry time period and frequency, and diffusion material for spreading of light.

This paper describes the general considerations and operational applications of aircraft night vision goggle(NVG). The operators should recognize the NVG characteristics, natural night light sources and interoperability between them. And they have to keep attention to the method to take steps to avoid misperceptions, illusions during flight, and the negative impact on the effectiveness and safety of the mission. The considerations based on the interoperability between NVG and night operation suggest the evaluation items of NVG field test and flight test.

This paper concerns about the requirement analysis for night vision imaging system(NVIS), whose purpose is to intensify the available nighttime near infrared(IR) radiation sufficiently to be caught by the human eyes on a miniature green phosphor screen. The requirements for NVIS are NVIS radiance(NR), chromaticity, daylight legibility/readability, etc. The NR is a quantitative measure of night vision goggle (NVG) compatibility of a light source as viewed through goggles. The chromaticity is the quality of a color as determined by its purity and dominant wavelength. The daylight legibility/readability is the degree at which words are readable based on appearance and a measure of an instrument's ability to display incremental changes in its output value. In this paper, the requirements of NR, chromaticity, and daylight legibility/readability for Type I and Class B/C NVIS are analyzed. Also the rationale is shown with respect to those requirements.
