Depicted here is the standard night fighting equipment for the conventional Nu-7 light fighter. Low visibility conditions take up roughly half of all time on Earth, and as such the modern soldier must be equipped to function in such an environment. This is also the case for the SCP Foundation’s Armed Mobile Task Forces. It is especially important for AMTF units as many Foundation site’s are almost entirely underground and have the potential to lose power and artificial light. All AMTF units who are tasked with responding to site containment breaches must be trained in performing all of their duties under night vision devices. Headborne night vision and occasionally thermal devices are typically mounted on a ballistic or bump helmet, in this case the Ops-Core SF ballistic helmet, via an NVG shroud fixed to the front of the helmet. The night vision equipment can be mounted to the shroud off a dovetail mount by the use of a bridge for dual tube NVGs, or a J-Arm for single tube NVGs. The operative depicted here has an Elbit Gen 3 WP PVS-14 mounted on a Noisefighters AX-14 PRO J-Arm which mounts to the Norotos Lo-Sto Push Button Mount. Such a setup is extremely lightweight and provides an exceptional range of articulation for stowing the unit on the helmet. This operative also has a FLIR Breach Thermal monocular, used as a handheld thermal scanner. Using both night vision tubes and thermal devices in tandem provides the user with an extremely powerful toolset when working at night or in low light conditions.
If the AMTF unit is responding to a potential threat to Foundation security that is known to have peer or near peer technology, then responding elements must assume their targets have night vision and thermal devices as well. To this end one of the more simple methods to counter handheld thermal devices is to wear a large poncho. This masks most of the operative’s body heat underneath the poncho and blends the wearer to the surrounding environmental temperature. Fighting against thermal is extremely difficult and this method is not perfect, however even a simple poncho decreases the overall heat signature of the wearer to a large degree.
Fighting against the anomalous has the potential to become chaotic almost instantaneously, and only more so at night. Low visibility paired with the small field of view that night vision provides means that responding elements will need a quick and easy way to distinguish from friend or foe. To this end the operative here has placed infrared glint tabs on the sides and back of his kit. These IR tabs glow when IR light is reflected on them, and this glowing effect is only visible under night vision. This example here was taken from a still during Recovery Operation ███ ████ (See Recovery Operation ███ ████ After Action Report ██-██-████ ████ hrs local).
The operative showcased here also has a helmet mounted strobe light, specifically the S&S Precision Manta Strobe with Hybrid Tail Cap. A helmet strobe light provides friendly identification to nearby units from a large distance, ranging from other elements and vehicles on the ground to supporting aircraft in the sky. Unit Standard Operating Procedures, or SOP, will determine how identifying friend or foe under low light conditions is conducted.
