L3Harris to Provide Night-Vision Systems to US Army

L3Harris Technologies has been awarded a $55 million contract by the U.S. Army to supply the NOVA night-vision goggle system under the Binocular Night Observation Device program. The award marks a transition to full-rate production for the system, which uses image intensifier technology to enable day-and-night, all-weather visibility for soldiers. The company emphasized its close collaboration with the Army throughout the development process to tailor the binocular system to modern battlefield demands.

The BiNOD program award follows L3Harris’ ongoing support of U.S. Department of Defense night-vision solutions, including the Fused Panoramic Night Vision Goggle used by U.S. Special Operations Command. The NOVA system is designed to meet military requirements for the next two decades, offering improved mobility, targeting, and lethality for soldiers operating in low-light conditions. L3Harris highlighted its readiness to deliver the capability at speed and scale to meet operational needs.

L3Harris noted that the NOVA system is also available to allied nations investing in modernization efforts to enhance nighttime situational awareness for land forces. The company described the BiNOD solution as a reflection of its partnership with the Army, with a focus on delivering advanced technology tailored to evolving threats. The full-rate production phase underscores the system’s alignment with long-term military modernization goals.

The contract builds on L3Harris’ broader portfolio of vision solutions, which connect multiple domains including space, air, land, sea, and cyber for national security. The company’s Integrated Vision Solutions division, led by Brenna Baker, will oversee the production and delivery of the NOVA system. L3Harris also cautioned that forward-looking statements in the release are subject to risks and uncertainties that may affect future results.
