The U.S. Army has once again tapped L3Harris Technologies (Londonderry, N.H.) for additional Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binocular (ENVG-B) systems. The $263 million order follows a similar Army award made earlier this year to L3Harris as part of a full-scale-production, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) program.
To date, L3Harris has delivered more than 18,000 ENVG-B systems to the Army (see image above), along with more than 28,000 advanced vision goggles to warfighters worldwide. The company will continue to upgrade the technology through significant investments. ENVG-B's next-generation technologies enhance warfighters’ situational awareness through shared access to common operational voice, video, and data.
Sam Mehta, President, Communication Systems, L3Harris, explained, “Our innovative fused night-vision technology provides U.S. soldiers the most sophisticated capability available to identify and engage targets in limited light before adversaries see them.”
He also pointed out, “With the ability to extend the system as a communication hub or sensor, we can increase soldiers’ situational awareness and drive connectivity with the larger Integrated Tactical Network.”
New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen noted, “The defense industrial base in New Hampshire contributes immensely to our national security—and this new investment in L3Harris’ ENVG-B program will continue to fuel production of cutting-edge night-vision capability for the warfighter in Londonderry. I’m proud of the L3Harris workforce here in New Hampshire and the important work they are doing to enhance our national defense.”
