With the development of military night vision device, the requirement of its definition is higher and higher. So the second generation and above image adding tube are selected for military night vision device. At present, the first generation night vision device has not been purchased by the military. The first generation night vision device can not be selected by the military because it needs to use infrared transmitter in most cases. The military night vision devices purchased by the West and the United States in recent years have begun to purchase a large number of 3-generation and 4-generation night vision devices. Due to cost reasons, although the number of second-generation night vision devices purchased by the military is still the largest, the growth rate of generation 3 and generation 4 is very fast. The world's largest supplier of military night vision devices, such as olfa in Germany and RNO in the United States, are all supplied to the military. At present, the United States and the West prohibit the supply of 3-generation and 4-generation night vision devices to China, so there are no 3-generation and 4-generation night vision devices on the market in China.

However, in terms of effect, compared with the first generation night vision device, the second generation night vision device has a qualitative leap forward. However, there is no qualitative leap forward in generation 3 and generation 4 compared with generation 2. Generation 3 and generation 4 are more likely to solve the problems of edge twist and sharpness decline. Therefore, as both military and civilian, the second generation night vision device is actually a very good choice. The most popular models purchased by NATO and the United States are the Alfa S450 and g350 +. The former is a binocular and binocular night vision device, and the latter is a single tube night vision device. Of course, this model is not called in the military. The NATO code of olfa S450 is bs3506, and the NATO code of g350 + is sj5701. These two types have a very good reputation in the military, and have been widely used in recent NATO military operations, including the Kosovo war.
