Elbit Systems’ US unit nabs potential US$442 million deal for night vision gear

Elbit Systems announced that its US subsidiary, Elbit Systems of America, was awarded an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) contract from the US Army for Enhanced Night Vision Goggle – Binocular (ENVG-B) systems. The potential contract value under the OTA contract could reach a maximum of approximately US$442 million. The US Army did not define an overall time-frame for performance of the OTA contract. An initial order in the amount of approximately US$22.5 million for low-rate initial production (LRIP) of systems has been placed under the OTA contract, with a period of performance through December 2021, to be executed in Roanoke, Virginia. The ENVG-B systems provide US warfighters with unprecedented situational awareness during limited visibility conditions and increased lethality through faster target acquisition. The ENVG-B systems will undergo various qualification phases, including field trials and system testing. Elbit Systems of America is already delivering on a US$249 million five-year ID/IQ contract to supply the Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggles to the US Marine Corps.
