D. System Limitations
The PS28 is an effective night vision system designed for night op-
erations but does have the following limitations:
• The sight requires some night light (moonlight, starlight, etc.) to
operate. Night light is reduced by such factors as passing cloud
cover and objects that produce shadows.
• The sight is less effective viewing through rain, fog, sleet, snow,
smoke.
• Under starlight conditions low contrast environments (such as
snowcovered territory, sandy deserts, large bodies of water or
grassy hills) degrade visibility thereby disguising or masking
changes in terrain.
• Under low-light conditions the sight looses some of the resolu-
tion that it has under full moon.
