The contract, valued at £16 million, will facilitate the phased delivery of these NVGs to UK military personnel. Instro has previously supplied over 3,500 units, reinforcing its ongoing support for the UK Ministry of Defence.
The XACT nv33 NVGs enhance operational capability by improving visibility in low-light and no-light conditions. These devices assist military personnel with enhanced threat detection and situational awareness.
Instro’s facility in Kent, designated as the Electro-Optic Centre of Excellence, is responsible for producing NVG systems for both the UK and international markets. The company’s ongoing supply agreement with the UK Ministry of Defence underscores its role as a key defence technology provider.
Martin Fausset, CEO of Elbit Systems UK, emphasised the company’s investment in UK manufacturing and its commitment to equipping British forces with advanced technology. He stated that sustained investment is essential to maintaining operational effectiveness.
The XACT nv33 NVGs are helmet-mounted, featuring extended battery life, a reduced weight profile, and improved image quality. These goggles are part of a broader suite of solutions offered by Elbit Systems UK to enhance military readiness and operational capability.
