The U.S. Army has completed its First Unit Equipped (FUE) with the ITT Corporation (NYSE:ITT) Enhanced Night Vision Goggle (ENVG), helping the service meet its goal of fielding the first sensor-fused, helmet-mounted monocular. ITT�s ENVG optically combines an image intensification (I2) image and next-generation infrared (IR) image, allowing for improved mobility and situational awareness�through clear target identification (I2) and improved target detection (IR). �As the sole provider of the Army�s Enhanced Night Vision Goggle, we are pleased with this major milestone in equipping our warfighters with high-quality, head-mounted sensor-fused night vision,� said ITT Night Vision�s President & General Manager, Mike Hayman. �Giving the men and women of our military the advantages of two night vision technologies fused into one system for the first time should help preserve their edge on the battlefield.� While I2 and IR technologies have allowed the U.S. military and its allies to own the night for years, both technologies have strengths and limitations. The ENVG combines the strengths of both technologies into one unit, allowing soldiers to complete their missions more effectively, even when confronted by low-light or obscured conditions. The ENVGs have completed a rigorous qualification process to ensure they are ready to be fielded. Following a competitive process, ITT was selected as the sole provider of the Army�s ENVG contract in 2005. The contract has a total potential value of $560 million over the contract life. ITT Night Vision, based in Roanoke, Va., is the world�s leading developer, producer and supplier of Generation 3 image intensifier technology for U.S. and allied military forces as well as the homeland security market.
