The very first generation or Generation 0 of night vision method is invented by US Army itself, and the image intensifier using in night vision method is invented by Vladimir Zworykin, an employee of RCA

Night-vision devices were invented during World War II for use by American, British and Soviet soldiers and pilots. The engineers and scientists at the US Army’s Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) Night Vision & Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD) discovered ways to capture available electro-magnetic radiation outside that portion of the spectrum visible to the human eye and have developed equipment to enable the American soldier to fight as well at night as during the day and to “Own the Night”.
Since then, the technology has evolved from bulky devices that amplify light about 1,000 times to compact equipment that can amplify any light source (including faint starlight) up to 50,000 times, and eyewear that allows soldiers to see in complete darkness (such as in caves) by detecting heat differences.
