ITT Awarded Follow-On Order for Enhanced Night Vision Goggle

(Roanoke, Va., July 10, 2008) -- The Research, Development and Engineering Command Acquisition Center (RDECOMAC), Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., has awarded ITT Corporation (NYSE:ITT) a $24.4 million follow-on order for the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle (ENVG), or the AN/PSQ-20. The ENVG is the first helmet-mounted night vision monocular to combine the strengths of both image intensification (I2) and infrared (IR, or thermal) technologies into one device. Following a rigorous qualification process, the Army's first unit equipped with ENVG was introduced in April.

ITT's ENVG optically combines an I2 image and next-generation IR (thermal) image, allowing for improved mobility and situational awareness. The monocular uses I2 to provide clear target identification and IR to provide improved target detection. By combining the strengths of both technologies into one unit, soldiers are able to complete their missions more effectively.

"Equipping the men and women of our military with advanced technologies is one of our primary goals," said Mike Hayman, president of ITT Night Vision. "We take our position as the sole provider of ENVG very seriously, and are committed to providing this new capability and advantage to the battlefield."
