Army developing new enhanced night vision goggles, squad rifles to increase Soldier lethality
By Devon L. Suits October 24, 2018
WASHINGTON -- The Army is slated to release the newest Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binocular to a select number of combat units sometime in fiscal year 2019, according to the Soldier Lethality Cross-Functional Team officials.
The new ENVG-B has both night vision and thermal-sensing capabilities and "stereoscopic binocular depth perception," providing Soldiers with an illusion of depth on a flat image, officials said.
According to 82nd Airborne Division Soldiers who field-tested the new technology, the new ENVG-B is a "game changer" providing Soldiers with a unique advantage against an adversary, said Brig. Gen. David Hodne, Soldier Lethality CFT director, during the Association of the U.S. Army's Annual Meeting and Exposition, Oct. 9.
