Next-Gen Night Vision, Rifles Coming Soon
Thursday, July 18, 2019
The Army’s next-generation night vision goggle will be fielded in September to soldiers with the 1st Infantry Division’s 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team from Fort Riley, Kansas, making them the first to receive and deploy with the new equipment.
The Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binocular (ENVG-B) is the first piece of equipment to be fielded by the U.S. Army Futures Command, which was stood up a year ago to advance the Army’s modernization priorities and streamline a decades-old, bureaucratic requirements and acquisition process.
Headquartered in Austin, Texas, the Army Futures Command is on track to reach full operational capability on July 31, Gen. John M. Murray, AFC commander, said on July 16 during a demonstration of the new equipment at Fort Myer, Virginia.
