Xenonics was awarded a $1.4 million order from the Army for its visualization technology, which can be hand-held or weapon-mounted and is designed to illuminate targets at great distances.
"The Pennsylvania National Guard brigade is one of a number of Army units that have recently submitted operational need statements requesting funding for purchases of our new, state-of-the-art NightHunter 3," Alan Magerman, Xenonics chairman and founder, said in a statement.
