NEAR INFRARED TECHNOLOGY - What is NIR Technology?
Near Infrared (NIR) Signature Management Technology is used by the U.S. Department of Defense to prevent detection by NIR Image Converters. These photocathode devices do not detect temperatures, but rather infrared radiation variances. NIR-compliant uniforms use a special fabric that allows soldiers to appear at the same radiation level as the surrounding terrain, thus making them more difficult to detect. NIR technology also make uniforms less visible in low-light environments by reducing the reflection of light.
To ensure that our military personnel avoid any danger connected to the use of uniforms, Propper has clearly labeled products on this website that are approved for military operations. Similarly, products based on military uniform designs (such as the ACU) without NIR technology are also labeled to prevent any error in purchasing. Look for these symbols to ensure you are purchasing uniforms that are designed for your specific application: NIR-Compliant Garment, Approved for Military Operations, Non-Compliant Garment, Not Intended for Military Operations. Alternate Force provides a variety of fighting, sparring and grappling equipment and hand protection to ensure effective training for your successful mission.
