The US Army has qualified an ITT Exelis goggle that allows soldiers to detect and identify potential threats while maintaining a secure position in various environmental conditions during nighttime missions.

This contract award is valued at approximately $49.5 million for over 3,800 units, which features the company’s latest sensor fused night vision technology that fuses thermal and light amplification into an unprecedented “own the night” capability.

The US Army awarded Exelis the first of two production options for the spiral enhanced night vision goggle (SENVG), designated AN/PSQ-20A. A capability that provides our soldiers the ability to detect and identify potential threats, regardless of the weather or environmental conditions, helping to ensure they complete their missions and come home safely.

“We have proved our sensor fused capability in the field, and we are ready to deliver the next round of enhanced night vision goggles to the US Army,” said Nick Bobay, Vice President and General Manager of ITT Exelis night vision business area. “The night vision team leveraged our design and manufacturing experience to create a sensor fused goggle that provides the soldier with greater situational awareness and improves command execution and rapid decisionmaking on the battlefield. For soldiers in the field, this is a game-changing technology that increases mission effectiveness – day or night.”
