For night missions, pilots face critical visibility conditions, requiring equipment capable of seeing in the darkest of nights and withstanding harsh operating environments. As a result, night vision goggles (NVGs) for helicopter, transports, and fighter pilots require the highest level of optical expertise. Thales' HELIE and ANGIE night vision devices offer the best balance between ergonomics, performance, and robustness.

Thales' ANGIE and HELIE night vision solutions meet the armed forces challenges. These combat-proven systems enable pilots to carry out all types of missions, from tactical combat to emergency response operations.

ANGIE & HELIE have been specially designed for air missions.

Specially designed for fighter jet pilots, like the Rafale or Mirage 2000, the ANGIE night vision device meets highly demanding specifications: resistance to aircraft vibrations, shock resistance during landing as well as resistance to fire and blast in the event of pilot ejection. In service with the French Air Force since 2011, ANGIE is combat proven on the Rafale and Mirage 2000 aircraft.

HELIE NVG features f/0.95 aperture. Compact and lightweight, it enables helicopter pilots to carry out long-term missions in the darkest night conditions. HELIE is a combat-proven night vision device that was first selected by the French army in 2009. Beyond military operations, the product is certified for civilian use (surveillance, search and rescue, evacuation) proving its excellent reliability.
