Wamco night vision (NVIS) filters set the standard

Wamco NVIS filters have set the standard for applications requiring Night Vision Goggle (NVG) technology. Wamco developed the first truly Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS) compatible filters for incandescent light sources, monochrome and full color displays.

Most of today's military standard requirements for Night Vision filters are based on Wamco's innovative NVIS filter designs and products.

Wamco’s Night Vision filters (NVIS filters) and Imaging System designs exceed the requirements of the highest military standards for their Night Vision Imaging System, including MIL-STD-85762A and MIL-STD-3009.

Wamco filters developed for Secure Lighting applications are available for quick delivery at affordable pricing. Standard products are specially designed for portable electronics and ground applications. Wamco filters limit the near infrared emission of light sources (IAW CECOM Wavelength restriction requirements*) providing a secure lighting environment at night. Keep the soldier safe from enemy detection by using a Wamco filter. Please contact Wamco to discuss your application requirements.

*The CECOM wavelength restriction requirementis are defined as: Elimination of the energy not used by the human eye or otherwise not required by the operator. Between 350 and 930 nm, no more than ½ percent (0.5%) of the total energy emitted shall be between 600 and 700 nm and as close to 600 nm as possible.

Wamco's expertise and capabilities in material development, assembly techniques, production, engineering and testing have made Wamco a prime source for aerospace lighting worldwide.
