More Generation 3 night vision equipment has been ordered from Exelis, with deliveries to occur from late this year and early into 2015.

The order, under a 2011 indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity OMNI VIII contract, carries a value of $8 million, the technology company said.

"As a cost-effective manufacturer of high-reliability night vision goggles, Exelis continues to provide the U.S. military and our international allies with advanced Generation 3 night vision technology," said Nick Bobay, president and general manager of Exelis Night Vision and Communications Solutions. "We are pleased that the Army has chosen Exelis based on our ability to deliver superior capability at affordable prices."

Exelis said its Generation 3 night vision equipment -- designed for a variety of night operations – uses tube technology that is the clearest and most advanced available, providing soldiers superior visibility and greater mobility in low-light conditions.

No information was provided on the number of units to be delivered.
