Elbit Systems of America has received a delivery order worth about $74.4 million from Marine Corps Systems Command for Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggle systems. The systems will be produced at the company’s Roanoke, Virginia facility through 2027 under a multi-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract valued at around $500 million awarded in 2023.

 

The lightweight, helmet-mounted SBNVG combines binocular vision with high-performance white phosphor image intensification tubes to enhance situational awareness. Elbit America says the system supports Marines across different mission types and durations by providing clear, detailed night-time imagery.

“Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggles effectively boost the capabilities of our Marines, so they can make swift and smart decisions,” said Erik Fox, Senior Vice President of Elbit America’s Warfighter Systems Division. “Our SBNVGs incorporate white phosphor Gen 3 image intensification tubes, providing optimum resolution and clarity, along with the added benefits of thermal imagery and compass heading details projected into the goggle.”

 

 

“Receipt of this fourth delivery order under our contract with the U.S. Marine Corps indicates that Elbit America’s Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggles are providing the edge our forces need now,” said Luke Savoie, President and CEO of the company. To date, Elbit America has delivered more than 25,000 SBNVGs to the U.S. Marine Corps and continues to support US and allied forces with night vision solutions.
