Abstract: As a military optoelectronic technology, the aircraft night vision imaging system (ANVIS) compatible lighting technology can guarantee the normal operation of ANVIS and plays an important part in night fighting in modern local conflict. Based on the simply introduction of the development status, key technologies and developing direction of LLL image intensifiers as well as the influence of common light source on ANVIS was analyzed, the importance of ANVIS compatible lighting technology was described. The main methods for realizing ANVIS compatible lighting, measurement methods and the development status of ANVIS compatible lighting technology were presented. The developing direction and the key technologies for domestic ANVIS compatible lighting were put forward based on the technology status at home.
