its funny that it was almost a complaint about why the night vision was b&w, where as all night vision googles are green & w. there are not color night vision since there is no color at night! anyhow my 2 cents

Color does exist at night, it's just that our eyes can't see any of it in the dark. Something about the rods and cones and which ones see color. But I do know they exist.

The Cadillac system (made by Raytheon) had many critical flaws and failures in it. Plus it could not differentiate light at far distances like the new S class does. The S class is superior in every aspect.
