Enhanced Night Vision Goggle – Binocular (ENVG-B) Elbit Systems of America
Elbit Systems of America LLC, a subsidiary of the Israeli defense firm Elbit Systems, was awarded an order valued at approximately $107 million for the supply of Enhanced Night Vision Goggle – Binocular (ENVG-B) systems, spare parts, logistics support, and test equipment, for the U.S. Army. The order will be executed in Roanoke, Virginia and will be supplied during the years 2023 and 2024.
This order is part of an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) contract that Elbit Systems of America received in 2020, with a potential value that could reach a maximum of $442 million.
After years of Israel relying on American largesse for its procurement of defense systems and weapons, things have moved in the other direction. Israeli firms have been providing the U.S. military with high-tech items like advanced vision, cameras, communications systems and more for some time now. And Israel is also helping America with the more advanced big ticket items like its Iron Dome anti-missile defense system. Israel’s Rafael Industries is the firm working with the American military on new missile technologies.

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.
Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis, Elbit Systems President & CEO, said, “This order attests to the quality of Elbit Systems of America’s technologies and their unique operational contribution, demonstrating the significant potential of our night vision activity.”
