The ENVG-B integrates powerful night vision capabilities and head-up situational awareness that allow soldiers to navigate and perform at their best in the modern, complex battlefield. ENVG-Bs are equipped with high performance white phosphor image intensifier tubes for better scene contrast providing soldiers better situational awareness in the dark, but also when there is fog, dust, or smoke. The ENVG-B system includes a wireless connection to soldiers’ rifle-mounted thermal weapon site and augmented reality overlay, enabling rapid target acquisition and improved situational awareness in various battlefield conditions.
Elbit Systems of America’s ENVG-Bs enable Warfighters to do more than just see in the dark. The systems include technology to enable faster target engagement, so users can easily identify friend & foe. The systems also incorporate augmented reality to accelerate nighttime movements.
Erik Fox, Vice President and General Manager
We have a long history of supplying the U.S. Army with game-changing capabilities and we’re continually refining our work to support next-generation Warfighter Information Systems, including advanced night vision solutions.
Our Roanoke-based team is poised to fulfill the U.S. Army’s transition to higher production rates, so we can get ENVG-Bs to our Troops as quickly as possible.
Raanan Horowitz, Elbit Systems of America’s President and CEO
ENVG-Bs under this production order will be produced in Roanoke, Virginia. The company will deliver on the contract all of 2023 and continue into calendar year 2024.
