This contract will enable Elbit America to compete for the next phase, which is valued at up to $450.6 million and positions the company to compete for additional future production orders that could result in the delivery of a significant number of systems for United States Soldiers.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiNOD is the modern night vision upgrade our soldiers need now,\u201d said Erik Fox, senior vice president and general manager of Elbit America\u2019s Warfighter Systems Division. \u201cWith BiNOD we\u2019re delivering the visual overmatch required on today\u2019s battlefield, while keeping the system lightweight and comfortable for Soldiers during extended missions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs warfare evolves, one constant remains: dominance at night matters. At Elbit America, we create that advantage by building side by side with the soldier,\u201d said the company\u2019s President and CEO Luke Savoie. \u201cFrom BiNOD to our next generation systems, we\u2019re not just delivering night vision, we\u2019re 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\u2019s warriors the confidence to move first, see farther, and maneuver at night just like it\u2019s the day. That\u2019s why the U.S. Army counts on us as its night vision partner, and why we\u2019ll keep pushing the boundaries of what\u2019s possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Army&#8217;s BiNOD program was previously known as the Night Vision Device-Next<br \/>\n(NVD-N) program.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Elbit America<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay in the know with breaking news from across the IC and IC contracting landscape by\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/intelligencecommunitynews.com\/subscribe\"><em>becoming a paid subscriber to IC News<\/em><\/a><em>.
