Teen solves centuries-old math problem
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., May 9 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army says it has fully equipped a unit with ITT Corp.'s enhanced night-vision goggles in an initiative to upgrade combat capabilities at night.
ITT, a high-technology engineering and manufacturing company in the defense and security markets, was contracted to supply the Army with its ENVG solution. The Army is working to implement sensor-fused, helmet-mounted monocular technology in a move to provide a tactical advantage for soldiers in low-light situations.
Company officials say the ENVG combines image intensification and infrared image technologies that offers greater situational awareness for soldiers.
"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," Mike Hayman, ITT night vision president and general manager, said in a statement.
"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."
