Good night vision?
Price. Expect to pay around $3000 per tube for some of the best ITT night vision. Stuff covered under title 10 arms export control act (you can buy it but you better not sell it to any one over seas). That is what our pilots in Afghanistan use.
Even on a moonless night you can still see almost everything.
The advantage to night vision its an independent system, it can see through the windshield of an aircraft unlike thermal image which has to have the sensing element out side the air craft.
