See the Unseen - Raytheon Infrared NIGHTDRIVER H2

DALLAS - Raytheon Company’s Raytheon Infrared announces the revolutionary
NIGHTDRIVER system is now available for the Hummer H2. The system features
an infrared virtual image projected on a head-up display (HUD). This
infrared technology aids nighttime driving visibility so drivers may see
road hazards in time to avoid accidents.

"Whether you’re taking the H2 out for a night on the town or a night on the
back roads, NIGHTDRIVER makes the driving experience much safer and more
fun," said Raytheon Infrared President Chris Bade. "H2 drivers are extremely
passionate about their vehicles, and the NIGHTDRIVER system will
dramatically enhance their driving."

With NIGHTDRIVER, H2 drivers see three to five times the distance of
standard headlights. According to the National Safety Council, during
nighttime driving, traffic fatality rates are three times greater than in
the daytime. With NIGHTDRIVER, drivers gain valuable reaction time when they
need it the most. Driving at 60 miles per hour, NIGHTDRIVER provides up to
15 seconds to react, instead of approximately 3.5 seconds afforded by
standard headlights. The NIGHTDRIVER system projects a real-time electronic,
black and white image on the HUD in the driver’s peripheral view, just below
the line of sight. Warm objects, such as people, animals and debris, are
more easily detected and avoided. Unaffected by ambient light, NIGHTDRIVER
also helps drivers see past oncoming headlight glare. In virtually every
weather condition, using NIGHTDRIVER provides better visibility than the
naked eye.

According to the most recent figures from the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, the risk of dying in a traffic crash increases
significantly when darkness falls. The fatality rate doubles during the
period of time from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Historically, approximately 13,000
people die in nighttime crashes every year. Though NIGHTDRIVER technology is
currently available only in the HUMMER H1, H2 and Cadillac DeVille, Raytheon
Infrared envisions widespread use of the technology in the future, helping
to make a significant improvement in the overall safety of night driving.
