Elbit Systems has received a $212 million delivery order from the US Army to continue producing Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binocular (ENVG-B) systems through 2028.

The agreement covers sustained production of the ENVG-B platform, which integrates thermal imaging with image intensification technology to improve target detection and engagement capabilities during operations in low-visibility environments.

For this procurement cycle, Elbit Systems of America was chosen as the sole prime contractor, marking a shift from earlier acquisition rounds where manufacturing responsibilities were shared among multiple vendors.

Designed to improve combat awareness, the ENVG-B combines augmented reality features, thermal sensing, and passive targeting functions within a wearable battlefield system. The technology enables soldiers to maintain operational effectiveness in darkness, poor weather, and difficult terrain conditions.

The contract comes amid broader US military efforts to modernize soldier vision and battlefield visualization systems. Earlier this year, the US Army awarded Elbit Systems a $120 million contract to develop a helmet-mounted mission command platform capable of consolidating data from multiple combat sensors into a unified display for ground troops.

Separately, L3Harris Technologies was selected in April for a contract valued at up to $465 million to deliver advanced binocular night-vision devices under the long-term Binocular Night Observation Device program. In December 2025, Syntec Optics also secured a contract to provide advanced optical technologies for the US military’s next-generation augmented reality systems.
