The US Army has awarded Elbit Systems a $28-million contract for additional AN/PVS-14 monocular night vision devices.
A helmet-mounted device, the AN/PVS-14 allows soldiers to move rapidly at night without the need for multiple specialized equipment.
It incorporates high-magnification lenses and an infrared illuminator for capturing clear images in low-light conditions.
It can also spot targets at an effective range of 150 meters (492 feet).
While the exact number of devices was not disclosed, the announcement said the tech will be assembled at its facility in Roanoke, Virginia.
Work for the deal is also expected to be completed by March 2026.
Enhancing Night Vision Capabilities
Earlier this year, Elbit Systems secured a $12-million contract to supply the army with an undisclosed number of its AN/PVS-14 devices.
In April, L3Harris signed a $256-million deal with the US Army for its Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binocular.
The tech incorporates white phosphor and thermal technologies for precision targeting and identification.
The army also tapped Elbit Systems in 2021 to produce AN/PVS-14s under a $54-million contract.
