Visual Augmentation Systems Familiarization (VASFAM) Night Vision Course

2-days / 16 hours

(8am - 5pm / Night Training times TBD)

Learn the latest innovative, tested, and proven tactics using various Night Vision devices in a tactical environment. This is a very ambitious and comprehensive course delivered in our extended 2-day (16) hour format. SGI instructors developed the curriculum for this course, which is a culmination of their personal real world experience and practical application using NV equipment in non-permissive, combat areas.

Our course focuses on preparing law enforcement SWAT teams and military special operations personnel for deployment and surveillance operations requiring the use of Night Vision (NV) devices in both urban and rural environments.

During the SGI VASFAM Course, a strong emphasis is placed on Night Operations, NV Device Operation and Maintenance, Device Limitations and Capabilities, Movement to Breach Points, Actions at Breach Points, and Entry Tactics and CQB with NV Devices.
