Elbit Systems Ltd. announced that according to the announcement of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), Elbit Systems’ U.S. subsidiary, Elbit Systems of America – Night Vision LLC, (“Elbit Systems of America”), was awarded an indefinite delivery/ indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contract with a maximum ceiling of $500 million, for the supply of Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggle (SBNVG) systems; spare and repair parts; contractor logistics supports and test article refurbishment. Work under the ID/IQ will be performed in Roanoke, Virginia, and is expected to be completed in 2028. Elbit Systems of America received an initial delivery order award under the ID/IQ worth a approximately $127 million immediately following contract award.
Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis, President and CEO of Elbit Systems: “This ID/IQ contract for Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggles follows previous orders and cements Elbit Systems of America as a leading partner of choice by the U.S. Marine Corps. We are honored to provide proven and cutting-edge equipment to the men and women of the U.S Marine Corps that will facilitate superior battlefield awareness.”
The SBNVG is a lightweight helmet-mounted system that provides superior nighttime viewing in various environments and conditions, improving warfighter situational awareness and performance. The system includes an enhanced battery life and high-performing white phosphor image intensification tubes for improved clarity and depth perception. A helmet-mounted system, the SBNVG provides increased depth perception, improved clarity and a thermal-imaging capability to detect targets in extreme darkness or through battlefield obscurants. Marines can use the goggles to operate vehicles at night, move through dark buildings or tunnels, and engage targets after sunset. The SBNVG is more capable than the AN/PVS-14—the legacy system that lacked the performance characteristics of the newer technology.
