Pune airport gets night vision

Pune: The Lohegaon airport authorities recently procured night vision goggles to beef up security on the airport premises and keep an eye on trespassers. “The airport officials had been demanding these goggles for the last two years. In order to upgrade security, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) approved the proposal for 50 airports. In its initial stage, the goggles have been allotted to four airports — Pune, Juhu (Mumbai), Goa and Aurangabad,” an airport official said.
The Israeli-made infrared night goggles have 3x range (350 meters) and can be increased up to 5x (between 500 metre to 700 metre) with an additional lens.
