Title: What is the latest on Night Vision being developed by Kawasaki for the C-14
Post by: ninjawarrior1400 on December 10, 2012, 03:06:22 PM
Kawasaki in 2008 released info that they were developing night vision for the C-14 and had some demo info they were releasing to the public.  The goal or advantage was to allow you to see people walking, on bikes, animals or any heat seeking object on your heads up display screen, and they were toying with heads up display for your helmet too.

What is the latest on this developmental issue if any?
