runway incursion warning systems

Has the use of night vision equipment / infra-red cameras ever been used in military / civil aircraft to detect runway incursions? I think it would provide some advantages over primary / SSR plus it could be combined with a head-up display and should yield good enough results in low visibility. Seems to work in some modern cars, why not aviation?
