Teen solves centuries-old math problem
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., June 11 (UPI) -- ITT Corp. has been contracted to support a U.S. military order of panoramic night-vision goggles and quad-eye vision technology.
ITT's Night Vision division received a $14 million contract from Arnic Inc. for the company's 16-millimeter image intensifier tubes. Arnic will use the intensifier tubes for panoramic night vision goggles used by the U.S. Air Force and Army. The tubes also will be used in the quad-eye expanded field of view technology deployed on the joint helmet-mounted cuing system for Navy pilots.
ITT officials say the Arnic order is the largest single award of 16mm aviation tubes since the PNVG and JHMCS programs were developed in 2003.
"We are delighted to be the sole provider of image intensifier tubes for these cutting-edge aviation night vision goggles," Mike Hayman, ITT Night Vision president, said in a statement.
"By compressing our renowned generation three technology into a smaller and lighter image intensifier tube, we are opening many new capabilities for head-mounted systems, as these quadruple-tube goggles illustrate."
