Federal authorities are trying to determine the whereabouts of dozens of state-of-the-art goggles capable of illuminating battlefields at night and potentially undercutting the tactical advantage of U.S. soldiers if they were to fall into the wrong hands.
At least 55 pairs of third-generation night vision goggles manufactured by ITT Industries were illegally exported to Vietnam by three men purportedly running a security business out of a Huntington Beach home, authorities alleged Tuesday.
