美国陆军希望“拥有夜间”,这表明它赋予延长战场日至24小时的重要性。在1990～1991年的海湾战争期间,利用高性能夜视装置使得多国部队较之于伊拉克对手占有根本的优势。许多武器系统能在夜间和恶劣的气候条件下从远距离探测和捕捉到敌人的目标,而自己基本上不会受伤害。 The U.S. Army hopes to “have a night of night,” which shows the importance it gives to extending the battlefield day to 24 hours. During the Gulf War between 1990 and 1991, the use of high-performance night vision devices made the multinational force have a fundamental advantage over its Iraqi counterparts. Many weapon systems can detect and capture enemy targets from long distances at night and in harsh climates without substantially harming themselves.
