L3Harris delivers first batch of ENVG-B to US Army
L3Harris has completed its first delivery of 656 combat-ready Enhanced Night Vision Goggles – Binocular (ENVG-B) to the US Army.
It forms part of a wider initial order which the company received in 2018, worth $391 million. This contract, known as the ENVG-B Directed Requirement, will see 10,000 units delivered to the US Army.
Lynn Bollengier, president of Integrated Vision Solutions at L3Harris, said: ‘Delivering imagery and data from the battlefield directly to the soldier’s eye is game changing technology and L3Harris is proud to equip the Army with the first combat-ready goggles of this kind.’
The ENVG-B uses a new high-resolution display to provide rapid target acquisition and augmented reality algorithms to integrate with the US Army’s Nett Warrior system. Overall, this is intended to improve soldier situational awareness and mobility.
