L3Harris Technologies received a $256 million order from the U.S. Army for continued production of the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle – Binocular (ENVG-B). This is the first order for the ENVG-B’s Program of Record full-scale production IDIQ, which will total nearly $1 billion over 10 years. The L3Harris ENVG-B systems enhance situational awareness at greater distances at night and in low-light environments with industry-leading Figure of Merit levels. L3Harris has delivered more than 13,000 ENVG-B systems to the Army to date. The company has also delivered more than 20,000 advanced vision goggles to warfighters worldwide, including the company’s Binocular Night Vision Device – Fused solution.
“L3Harris’ Londonderry workforce plays a critical role in support of our national security. This award I helped secure for the ENVG-B program will continue to support production of their cutting-edge night vision capability for the warfighter. I’ll continue working in Congress to keep New Hampshire on the frontlines of producing this critical technology,” said Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H.
“We are committed to ensuring U.S. soldiers stay steps ahead of peer adversaries at all times, and we are honored to put modern night-vision solutions into the hands of more warfighters as part of the ENVG-B program. Our continued partnership with the Army and internal technology investments will keep this system ahead of the threat for years to come,” said Christopher E. Kubasik, Chair and CEO, L3Harris.
The L3Harris ENVG-B delivers next-generation night vision technology that enhances the soldier’s ability to locate and engage threats and access common operating environment imagery, thus improving the soldier’s Situational Awareness, mobility and protection. The ENVG-B is a helmet-mounted dualwaveband goggle with a larger thermal
Field-Of-View and increased thermal range ahead of its predecessors. ENVG-B provides targeting and identification in all battlefield conditions as well as light levels including degraded visual environments such as smoke, fog
and debris. The goggle includes L3Harris’ high-performance white phosphor image intensification technology fused with thermal imagery; thereby bridging the gap in performance and capability for both of these sensors.
