Inside
The Freaky World Of Next-Gen Night Vision
There's a pair of buildings on Plantation Drive,
just past the tractor supply store, and right in front
of the barn belonging to the local women's college.
From the street, the cream-colored structures don't
look like much more than typical office buildings;
only a wire fence distinguishes them from their
neighbors. Inside, however, is a laboratory and
fabrication facility where engineers produce one of
the U.S. military's most important advantages over its
foes: the ability to see in the dark, when others are
all but blind.
