Elbit Systems of America has secured a $112 million delivery order from the Marine Corps Systems Command for Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggle, or SBNVG, systems.
The Fort Worth, Texas-based company said Wednesday the delivery order was issued under a multi-year indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract awarded in 2023. Elbit Systems will perform the work at its Roanoke, Virginia, facility. The project is expected to be completed by December 2026.
What Is the Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggle?
The SBNVG system is an advanced night vision system that combines a binocular, white phosphor image intensification tubes and a clip-on thermal imager. The lightweight, helmet-mounted system enables users to detect hidden targets in completely dark conditions.
The night vision system enhances situational awareness, depth perception and clarity, enabling Marines to conduct operations in low-light and no-light conditions.
“Elbit America’s Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggle system enhances the capabilities of our Marines, making them an unmatched force on the battlefield,” said Luke Savoie, president and CEO of Elbit America. “These advanced systems build on more than six decades of night vision innovation, enabling the U.S. Marine Corps to operate with precision, accuracy and confidence,” he added.
“Production of more than 20,000 Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggle systems – and continued orders – demonstrate their impact and effectiveness for the U.S. Marine Corps,” said Erik Fox, senior vice president and general manager of warfighter systems at Elbit America. “SBNVGs provide our Marines a decisive advantage. They can see, detect, and react more quickly than their adversaries – an edge that’s critical in today’s complex battlefield.”
