Wide Field of View Night Vision Goggles Transition to the Fleet
CRANE, Ind. — NAVSEA Expeditionary Missions Program Office’s Visual Augmentation Systems program began to transition Wide Field of View (WFOV) night vision goggles (NVGs) to Naval Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) warfighters in May, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) said in a June 8 release.
The WFOV NVG doubles the view field of traditional NVGs. The benefits are greater combat efficiency, depth perception, enhanced situational awareness and increased movement speed. The WFOV NVG has an 80-degree field of view, an increase in the viewable area 5.3 times greater than the current 40-degree systems.
