(Army)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Enhanced Night Vision Goggle, has been paired with augmented reality software and the Family of Weapons Sights-Individual, FWS-I, by the Army\u2019s Communication-Electronics, Research, Development and Engineering Center and Program Executive Office Soldier to put all of the capabilities into the view of the soldier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The weapons sight capability brings the weapon sight picture into the NVG goggles through a camera on the sight. This allows a soldier to shoot around corners without being exposed. It also can switch views from the sight to a picture-in-picture where the normal view is presented along with the weapon\u2019s sight picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe beauty of the two systems is there\u2019s wireless communication between the goggle and weapon sight,\u201d said Dave Smialek, the business development manager for Survivability, Targeting, and Sensing Solutions at BAE Systems, which is producing the goggle. \u201cWhat\u2019s transmitted is the aim point from the weapons sight, displayed as an overlay on the ENVG-III image.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company recently received two orders for a total of $97 million to produce the goggles and thermal weapons sights, according to a company release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BAE Systems developed a Rapid Target Acquisition Module to reduce target engagement time as part of building the new goggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The augmented reality portion creates an almost individualized tracker that lets the soldier mark targets, pick waypoints while on patrol and share those digital icons with other members of the squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smialek said past night vision goggles didn\u2019t have the capability to display video. Advancements in wireless technology have enabled the change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a <mark class=\"el-find-result active\" data-findex=\"0\">February<\/mark> demonstration at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, soldiers and researchers with CERDEC showcased the system\u2019s capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sgt. 1st Class Clint Nelson wore a single-eye display device that shows augmented reality, currently in a monocular but likely to be integrated into a binocular-type night vision goggles. The binocular design allows for greater depth perception and more realistic viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"646\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SFC-Nelson-1-NV-Gear.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SFC-Nelson-1-NV-Gear.jpg.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SFC-Nelson-1-NV-Gear.jpg.jpg?resize=300,162 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SFC-Nelson-1-NV-Gear.jpg.jpg?resize=768,413 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SFC-Nelson-1-NV-Gear.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,551 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Army&#8217;s new Enhanced Night Vision Goggles-Binocular uses wireless technology to merge the weapon sight with day\/night vision, thermal and augmented reality to the soldier&#8217;s view.

I\u2019m no longer looking down at a phone or a map.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He explained how these devices can help a soldier process massive amounts of data, especially in an urban operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"807\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SFC-Nelson-2-NV-Gear.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SFC-Nelson-2-NV-Gear.jpg.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SFC-Nelson-2-NV-Gear.jpg.jpg?resize=300,202 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SFC-Nelson-2-NV-Gear.jpg.jpg?resize=768,516 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SFC-Nelson-2-NV-Gear.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,689 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Army&#8217;s new Enhanced Night Vision Goggles-Binocular uses wireless technology to merge the weapon sight with day\/night vision, thermal and augmented reality to the soldier&#8217;s view.
