description Aircrews have reported significant problems in depth perception and distance estimation with night vision goggles (NVGs). The purposes of this experiment were to develop a methodology for quantifying distance estimation abilities with NVGs and to examine the value of a simple training procedure as a means of reducing errors. Absolute distance estimates were obtained from eight male aviators using Aviators Night Vision Imaging System (ANVIS) AN/AVS-6 NVGs before and after exposure to a set of known distances. The results revealed that distance estimates were linear and significant reductions in errors and variability followed exposure to the training procedure. The results are discussed within the context of previous research. Issues for future research are addressed. Distance estimation, Night vision goggles, Training.
