Tel Aviv: Israeli company Elbit Systems announced on May 12 that its US subsidiary, Elbit Systems of America – Night Vision LLC received a delivery order valued at approximately $212 million, for the continued production of the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle – Binocular (ENVG-B) systems for the US Army. Deliveries under the award will take place through 2028.
The Army has historically split production for ENVG-B systems among multiple vendors, however Elbit Systems of America was the only prime supplier selected for this delivery order.
The ENVG-B provides US soldiers with advanced visual and situational capabilities designed for the demands of the modern battlefield. By combining high-resolution image intensification with thermal imaging, the ENVG-B enables soldiers to clearly detect, recognise, and engage threats in low-light or no-light environments.
The system also supports augmented reality overlays and passive targeting, enhancing survivability, mobility, and operational effectiveness in a wide range of weather and visibility conditions.
Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis, President and CEO of Elbit Systems, stated, “We are proud of Elbit America’s role as a trusted partner to the US Armed Forces, delivering cutting-edge night vision systems. The continuation of orders under the programme originally awarded in 2023 is a strong testament to the performance and trust placed in our systems. This achievement reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation and our continued focus on developing technologies that provide our defence partners with the clarity and confidence they need to succeed in any environment.”
