The company said Monday it will supply the military service with EnhancedNight Vision Goggle Binocular devices to help ground forces engage threats and obtain a common operating environment.

“As the Army continues to modernize to keep pace with near-peer adversaries, our agility and experience enable us to move quickly in a heightened threat environment,” Kubasik added.
The dual-tube goggle includes a high-resolution display, an embedded wireless personal area network, target acquisition and augmented reality algorithms that can integrate with the Nett Warrior situational awareness system.
L3 designed the ENVG-B to also operate with the service branch’s arsenal of modern weapon sights.
