For nearly three decades, the AN/PVS-14 monocular night vision system set the global benchmark, trusted by American and allied forces in operation around the world. BiNOD is set to redefine that benchmark and deliver the next evolution of overmatch for all parts of the maneuvering force, the company said.

“BiNOD is the modern night vision upgrade our soldiers need now,” said Erik Fox, senior vice president and general manager of Elbit America’s Warfighter Systems Division. “With BiNOD we’re delivering the visual overmatch required on today’s battlefield, while keeping the system lightweight and comfortable for Soldiers during extended missions.”

“As warfare evolves, one constant remains: dominance at night matters. At Elbit America, we create that advantage by building side by side with the soldier,” said the company’s President and CEO Luke Savoie. “From BiNOD to our next generation systems, we’re not just delivering night vision, we’re shaping it. Rugged, trusted and able to be produced in mass, BiNOD is offered at a price point for our customers to get them at volume. Elbit America gives our nation’s warriors the confidence to move first, see farther, and maneuver at night just like it’s the day. That’s why the U.S. Army counts on us as its night vision partner, and why we’ll keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.”

The U.S. Army’s BiNOD program was previously known as the Night Vision Device-Next
(NVD-N) program.
