Press Release, Londonderry NH, 13 April 2026: L3Harris Technologies has been selected by the US Army to provide its NOVA night-vision goggle system to support the Binocular Night Observation Device (BiNOD) programme. The Army awarded a seven-year contract worth up to $465 million to L3Harris, one of several companies chosen to support the programme.
NOVA is a helmet-mounted binocular device, which modernises fielded capabilities by providing all-hour, all-weather situational awareness for the US military and allies. NOVA integrates L3Harris’ image intensifier technology and is designed to meet the needs for the next 20-plus years.
“As an appropriator and a senior member of the US Senate Armed Services Committee, I’m committed to supporting our national security by ensuring our service men and women have access to the best equipment to defend our freedoms,” said Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H. “Investments like this not only bolster the Granite State’s economy, but also directly contribute to the safety and security of the United States and our allies.”
“We worked closely with the Army to understand their requirements for a next-generation binocular solution that is highly capable and low cost,” said Brenna Baker, President, Integrated Vision Solutions, Communications & Spectrum Dominance, L3Harris. “We are focused on moving directly into production to quickly put this capability into the hands of soldiers.”
The BiNOD award builds on L3Harris’ support of existing US Department of War night-vision programmes, including the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle – Binocular (ENVG-B). L3Harris has delivered more than 20,000 ENVG-B units to date.
