Army Introduces 1st Unit Equipped With ITT's ENVG News Category: [Defence-Land]
(White Plains, N.Y., May 7, 2008) -- The U.S. Army has completed its First Unit Equipped (FUE) with the ITT Corporation (NYSE:ITT) Enhanced Night Vision Goggle (ENVG), helping the service meet its goal of fielding the first sensor-fused, helmet-mounted monocular.
ITT's ENVG optically combines an image intensification (I2) image and next-generation infrared (IR) image, allowing for improved mobility and situational awareness-through clear target identification (I2) and improved target detection (IR).
"As the sole provider of the Army's Enhanced Night Vision Goggle, we are pleased with this major milestone in equipping our warfighters with high-quality, head-mounted sensor-fused night vision," said ITT Night Vision's President & General Manager, Mike Hayman. "Giving the men and women of our military the advantages of two night vision technologies fused into one system for the first time should help preserve their edge on the battlefield."
