Fenn Night Vision, the country’s leading designer and manufacturer of Night Vision Goggles (NVG’s) for aviation, will be supplying the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance (HIOWAA) with NVG’s when the charity begins night flying later this year.
The HIOWAA crew will be among the first to use the latest edition to the Fenn range of NVG’s, the Fenn NG700+. The goggles work using a process of image intensification, and will have excellent light gathering power and a wide field of view, giving exceptional performance in low light conditions.
Colin Light, Managing Director of Fenn Night Vision commented;
“Our latest NVG’s are simply the best we have ever designed. They have a wide field of view which helps to increase the operator’s situational awareness and provide exceptional performance in dark conditions. We hope that our latest technology will benefit the crews who operate in an incredibly challenging and pressured environment, saving lives. Our aim is to help them in the best way we can, to see better at night”.
Fenn Night Vision is a hi-tech company specialising in the research, development and production of night vision devices for aviation and is the leading supplier of NVGs to the UK Ministry of Defence and Police Air Support Units. Fenn Night Vision, who recently became a HIOWAA Gold Level Corporate Partner, will be supplying four pairs of NVG’s to the charity, three of which they have generously donated.
Alex Lochrane, HIOWAA CEO, commented:
“HIOWAA is committed to driving development in helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) and I am delighted to be able to announce our partnership with Fenn Night Vision. They are passionate about their product and I am honoured that our crew will be the first use the Fenn NG700+”.
