United States develops a new “weapon”
Nocturnal – eyeglasses is the name of a new invention of USA Government for his army. Actually, it is not a firearm. It is a gorgeous object that has been demanded by elite armed forces for many years ago. Gabriel Hood, from Science Magazine America, interviewed Mr Jackson, the leader of the investigation, and here you are the summary of the meeting:
Nocturnal – eyeglasses, said professor Jackson, is one of the best inventions made for army in years. About eleven years ago, my researching team and I were asked for develop some kind of device for our soldiers in order to supply an enhanced sight in adverse situations. Truly, Government wanted some type of adapted binoculars for dust. It was just a couple of months before Persic war and we knew that it was impossible to create a new device in only ten weeks.
The project was rejected but three years later, in 1994, an idea came to my mind. I was in the dinning room together with my wife, and watching her eyes I noticed that the best way to improve eyes was lens. I told it to Hideo Yamauchi next morning, an excellent Japanese scientist of NASA department. Hideo told me it was a nice idea but impossible of accomplishing. In order to insert some kind of technology in lens we needed special techniques called “Nano-Technology”. This technology would allow us to insert electronic parts into eyeglasses. As you know, nano-technology has not been developed till 1999 and even today, scientists work heavy to make advances in this field.
Since December in 1999, Army Department and NASA began to work together in this project: we had the technology, the scientists and the money provided by Government. More than a hundred people worked hard to create this new invention. Development took about one year and half. We had problems, tech obstacles, setbacks and lack of money resources. But thanks to Mr Yamauchi and his brilliant team, we finished our “nocturnal – eyeglasses” two months ago.
Perhaps, people cannot understand clearly how they work and what they are prepared for. These lens, as other common eyeglasses, fix vision problems in eyes. We have made special ones that allow see in the dark. They also work the same as normal eyeglasses: soldiers put themselves in the eyes and they make possible to see in total darkness.
This invention erases the problems of our soldiers when they have to intervene in special night operations where darkness plays an important role. Since now, night operations of Special Forces will not be a disaster like they were in 1991 war. USA army will be able to see the enemy but not vice versa. I would also like to remark that we are thinking about implement new features and functions to these electronic glasses, like infra-red detector or environment information with temperature, altitude and weather indicators.
“Nocturnal – eyeglasses” are not ready to market the world, not even in USA, where enemies would buy them. For the time being, they only will be used in the army. Anyway, I do not think people would be able to purchase a set of them. The price is not popular indeed!
Science Magazine wants to thank Mr Jackson and Army Department for the interview and the information offered about this new invention for all our readers. Nocturnal – eyeglasses will be an useful device for army and we are convinced that it will become in an indispensable element of future wars.
