1. are solving the same problem

1. Microsoft IVAS - poorly suited for military use:

• glowing screen
• short battery life
• many cables on the body and head (there should be no cables at all, it is dangerous)
• low FOV
• poor image contrast
• conflict of vergence and accommodation
• lens fogging problem
• passive cooling problem
• problem of fatigue
• few functions
• problem of the price ($55,000 for one)

2. L3Harris ENVG-B

• analog device
• glowing screen
• very low FOV
• low magnification coef. (3x)
• poor image contrast
• problem of fatigue
• very few functions
• problem of the price ($25,490 for one)

3. SMASH

• rifle mount only (not using Head-Up Display)
• very low FOV
• low magnification coef. (4x)
• visible laser range finder
• very few functions

3. ARC4

Elbit to provide electro-optics night vision goggles that combine infrared and light-amplification sensors

SBNVG Elbit Systems

SBNVG has binocular image intensifier with a modular uncooled thermal imaging, dual-power cable, external power supply, and helmet mounting system.

U.S. Marine Corps night vision experts needed an updated helmet-mounted night vision system that combines thermal imaging and light amplification. They found their solution from Elbit Systems of America-Night Vision LLC in Roanoke, Va.

Officials of the Marine Corps Systems Command at Quantico Marine Base, Va., announced a $500 million five-year contract Monday for the Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggle (SBNVG), which enhances the infantry’s lethality and situational awareness at night and in poor visibility.

The optical sensors combines several technologies to enhance the infantry warfighter's capabilities in low-light and degraded-visibility conditions. Light amplification helps illuminate targets at night, thermal imaging enhances vision in smoke and other obscurants, and the binocular design enhance the warfighter's depth perception.

On this contract Elbit will do the work in Roanoke, Va., and should be finished by November 2028. For more information contact Elbit Systems of America online at www.elbitamerica.com/night-vision, or Marine Corps Systems Command at www.marcorsyscom.marines.mil.
