New night vision goggles from Harris Corporation

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 28 (UPI) -- A new, lightweight night-vision binocular/goggle that increases low-light capabilities and helps reduce eye fatigue has been launched by Harris Corporation.

The unit is designated the F5032 Lightweight Night Vision Binocular, which features a 9.8-inch, close-focus range capability, fixed and adjustable diopter lenses that eliminate the need to change static lenses for personal or mission specific requirements.

The unit also includes an integrated infrared illuminator, reducing the need for the warfighter to carry a separate illuminator.

"This new Harris lightweight binocular delivers much more capability than any other fielded models," said Erik Fox, vice president and general manager, Harris night vision business. "We're excited to make these available at a time when reduced size, weight and power and ease of use are major concerns for warfighters in a complex tactical environment."
