The U.S. Army is equipped with high-performance night vision goggles that can identify the enemy regardless of nighttime weather conditions. Even more sci-fi, the night vision goggles shared by the Gun Cavalry Brigade automatically match everyone with glowing silhouettes, as in the video game “Halo” (Halo).
The system includes new high-resolution displays, embedded wireless personal area networks, fast target capture and augmented reality algorithms that can access the U.S. Army’s Knight Warrior system. With augmented reality algorithms and equipment, soldiers don’t have to look down to read a map or check their radios to stay focused on the target, and all the information will be displayed on the screen in front of them.

The U.S. Army is currently equipped with more than 4,800 sets of equipment devices.
The Enhanced Night Vision Goggles-Binoculars (ENVG-B) were developed by L3Harris Technologies, a global aerospace and defense technology innovation company for the warfare environment. Lynn Bollengier, president of its Integrated Vision Solutions, said, “The ENVG-B is the most advanced night vision goggle ever developed by the U.S. Army, enabling soldiers to see and maneuver in zero and low light situations.”
In a tweet shared by Lancer Brigade wrote: “You’ve never seen a night vision system like this.”
The video footage released shows footage of soldiers walking through the woods, firing or resting, their silhouettes clearly marked by a ring of red light.
This is reminiscent of scenes from the game “Halo”. The images presented in ENVG-B look similar to Halo 3’s Vision Intelligence for Reconnaissance (VISR) system, a military science fiction game about soldiers battling aliens.
However, ENVG-B truly provides soldiers with actionable intelligence through the fusion of image enhancement (I2) white light tubes and thermal imaging. This advanced who quilt also provides target location and identification in all battlefield conditions, as well as light levels, including degraded visual environments such as smoke, fog and debris.
Weighing only 2.5 pounds and mounted on the front of the helmet, it allows soldiers to easily switch between monocular and binocular vision.
