However, that capability has introduced a level of complexity with new equipment, training and maintenance requirements for operators,” explains Night Flight Concepts President Adam Aldous. “We are very pleased to help host a conference that will focus on addressing the key challenges, opportunities and solutions for night operations.”

“NightCon2011 is a new forum dedicated to the needs of civil, government and para-public operators using night vision imaging systems (NVIS),’’ notes Aviation Specialties Unlimited President, Mike Atwood. “Experts from industry and government will be under one roof to discuss the most important topics in night vision. Presenters will discuss challenges faced by users and share critical insights pertaining to night vision program planning and support in different operational environments.”
