You are asking the wrong person about Generation 4 because my interest was put on hold years ago and I did no further research. The pilot I talked to described limited (4) color capability. However I just read and see that Generation 4 is available to civilians now and I see no such mention of color capability. Actually it appears to be as you said... Marginal improvements in resolution and improved light utilization to minimize grain. Prices are not much more then Generation 3.

So what happened to the color? Perhaps there were were some tests going on with different specs. I think Gen 4 was in development at the time. Was that around 2000?

I can see why they are going thermal. Night vision is simply light intensification. Thermal can see through moisture (fog, clouds) which would be of benefit in some daytime conditions.
