Elbit Systems of America recently received a delivery order valued at $112 million for Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggle (SBNVG) systems from the Marine Corps Systems Command, the company announced on Wednesday.
The night-vision systems will be produced at the company’s facility in Roanoke, Virginia through December 2026. The delivery order was placed under a multi-year contract secured in 2023.
Elbit Systems of America, headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, is the U.S. branch of Elbit Systems, Ltd., an Israeli defense firm specializing in unmanned aerial vehicles, electronic warfare and night vision, among other systems.
“Production of more than 20,000 Squad Binocular Night Vision goggle systems—and continued orders —demonstrate their impact and effectiveness for the U.S. Marine Corps,” said Erik Fox, senior vice president and general manager of Warfighter Systems at Elbit America.
“SBNVGs provide our Marines a decisive advantage. They can see, detect, and react more quickly than their adversaries—an edge that’s critical in today’s complex battlefield,” he said.
Elbit America’s goggles are lightweight, helmet-mounted systems that combine a binocular with high-performance white phosphor image intensification tubes and an enhanced clip-on thermal imager, according to a company statement.
“Elbit America’s Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggle system enhances the capabilities of our Marines, making them an unmatched force on the battlefield,” said Elbit America President and CEO Luke Savoie.
“These advanced systems build on more than six decades of night vision innovation, enabling the U.S. Marine Corps to operate with precision, accuracy and confidence,” he said.
On Jan. 23, Elbit America announced it had received a delivery order valued at more than $139 million for continued production of the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle–Binocular (ENVG-B) systems to the United States Army, along with spare parts, and logistics support.
