Active night-vision/image-intensification devices (such as IR scopes) for mounting on rifles have been in use by various military organizations since at least the mid-1940s. The problem with the old IR scopes is that they can lead counter-snipers to the sniper's position (i.e., anybody else using an active IR scope would be able to see the infrared light source mounted on the sniper's scope).
