Grunts to get new binocular night vision goggles by spring 2020 ― and they’re not green
By: Shawn Snow  


New binocular night vision devices that swap the old green tinted view with clearer white phosphor imaging will be in the hands of grunts by spring 2020, according to Marine officials.

On Sept. 6 the Corps awarded a contract valued at $249 million to Harris Corp., based out of Roanoke, Virginia, for the purchase of squad binocular night vision Goggle systems, according to a news release.

The Corps expects delivery of 14,000 devices, with the first sets to be doled out to grunts, according to the release.
