Enhanced Night Vision Goggle (ENVG) – PM Soldier Sensors and Lasers
Project Manager Soldier Sensors and Lasers (PM SSL) provides Soldiers with improved lethality, mobility, and survivability in all weather and visibility conditions. Soldier-borne sensors and lasers enhance the Soldier's ability to see in all battlefield and lighting conditions, to acquire objects of military significance before the Soldier is detected, and to target threat objects accurately for engagement by Soldiers or guided munitions. These systems provide critical, on-the-ground direct support to US forces. Product Manager Soldier Maneuver Sensors (SMS) provides Soldiers with products for enhanced vision, improved targeting, and greater lethality. Development of the Enhanced Night Vision Google (ENVG) is one example of PEO Soldier's leadership in this area. The ENVG, initially fielded to units supporting Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom in FY09, provides the individual Soldier with enhanced situational awareness day or night in all weather and degraded battlefield conditions. The ENVG is a helmet-mounted passive device that combines scene data from a low-light level sensor and a long wave sensor into a single, integrated image.

Any chance the Marines will get these?

I ask because 2 weeks ago I had a chance to play around with one of these units at Fort Leavenworth. I was blown away.

@MegaGevehr Yes they will. Only after the Army has beaten it to hell and back, much like most of the gear issued.

@SpaceWrangler420 why do the marines get the used crappy supplies? Arent they the better branch?

I want!

can i buy this and how much

@WitnessMELOx15 Exactly, they need to make its proven technology first. They wont try it on the marines as an experiment. It needs to be field tested with the army before hand.

amazing!!
January 17th, 2011 at 10:05 pm
@50cliber from $5 000 up to $16 000

you own the night?…But any electrician ,av engineer or just someone with a passing interest that has money to waste can use a FLIR handheld Imager,it is only the high cost of this kit that stops the average man in the street from having it.GENIII,SWIR,Thermal (LWIR) are all availible to those with money.

@buildityourselfmate Yes but most terrorists don’t have this technology! Some may have some gen 2 but thats why it is critical to use ir dicipline when you laser systems as to not give away your teams position! Hadji is npt very sophisticated some may have some crappy nv though!

@ridah925 Can I point out that it seems most terrorists are educated here in the west some even at Oxford,Cambridge & dare I say MIT, and yet any Physics student will know of the EM spectrum and be able to pop into most Electrical Wholesalers and purchase a FLIR handicam for the average electrician for less than the price of a second hand BMW, Let alone SWIR and NIR Security cameras that can be modified , you wond need a degree in electronics to do this,just money.
