System design has been proven through U.S. Army Operational Testing. This system combines an image intensified (I2) tube and infrared (IR) micro-bolometer into a compact monocular. The monocular is approximately the same size as the AN/PVS-14. A separate battery pack provides power for helmet-mounted or hand-held use. The ENVG will mount on a ACH helmet and will provide: flip-up​, tilt, fore/aft adjustment; left/right eye use; and quick disconnect from the helmet.

Soldier Benefits 

ENVG is the first night vision goggle in production to provide fusion (via optical overlay) of I2 and IR imagery. It will give the following benefits to the soldier:

• Greater situational awareness due to improved threat detection under most battlefield environments; compatible with traditional weapon system ranges
• Expanded viewing capability from highlight conditions to total darkness (no light) and through battlefield obscurants. Increases capability for urban operations
• Improved wearing comfort due to better weight balance resulting in less fatigue
• Easy-to-use controls similar to proven AN/PVS-14
• Non-exit pupil forming eyepiece allows the soldier to maintain full field of view even as helmet shifts during vigorous physical movements
