STANAG 1179E – NATO Standard for Battlefield Illumination
STANAG 1179E is a NATO standard that outlines the requirements and guidelines for battlefield illumination. This standard ensures that illumination devices and techniques used by NATO forces provide effective lighting for night operations, target identification, and area illumination, while minimizing the risk of detection by adversaries.
Why is STANAG 1179E Important?
- Enhances Night Operations: Provides guidelines for effective illumination, improving visibility and operational effectiveness during nighttime missions.
- Standardizes Equipment: Ensures compatibility and interoperability of illumination devices across NATO forces.
- Improves Safety: Enhances situational awareness, reducing the risk of friendly fire incidents.
- Supports Covert Operations: Includes provisions for infrared (IR) illumination, enabling night vision goggle (NVG) compatibility for stealth operations.
