MELBOURNE, FLA., October 14, 2019 - L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) has begun initial deliveries of its new Enhanced Night Vision Goggle – Binocular (ENVG-B) that provides U.S. Army soldiers with improved situational awareness, mobility and protection. The delivery is part of an initial order under a $391 million ENVG-B Directed Requirement contract from the U.S. Army received in 2018. L3Harris delivered the first 40 combat-ready systems as part of an initial fielding that is expected to be completed by early 2020. This advanced binocular night vision goggle supports the Army's Soldier Lethality Cross-Functional team priorities. The ENVG-B includes L3Harris' high-performance white phosphor image intensification technology in a dual-tube goggle, as well as a separate thermal channel for image fusion and thermal target detection. This technology will enhance the ability to locate and engage threats and access common operating environment imagery. “The ENVG-B is the result of a year-long collaboration with the U.S. Army to deliver the most advanced night fighting system ever fielded,” said Dana Mehnert, President, Communication Systems, L3Harris. “This is the first networked night vison system that brings battlefield imagery and data directly to the soldier's eye, providing situational awareness beyond the capability of near-peer threats facing the U.S. military and our allies around the world.” Following the delivery of the first 40 units, L3Harris received two additional delivery orders totaling approximately $153 million for nearly 7,000 additional systems and logistics support. Combined with the initial $88 million delivery order, L3Harris has received orders to deliver just over 10,000 ENVG-B systems under the Directed Requirement contract. The ENVG-B includes a new high-resolution display and an embedded soldier wireless personal area network, rapid target acquisition and augmented reality algorithms to interface with the U.S. Army's Nett Warrior. The complete system will interface with the Army's family of weapon sights, while enhancing interoperability and data sharing.

Le ministre d'Etat pour les acquisitions de Défense britannique, Jeremy Quin, avait annoncé, en décembre 2021, la volonté du gouvernement d'augmenter sa flotte d'avions de combat F-35. Le Maréchal de l'Air, Richard Knighton, a répondu dans une question écrite au parlement que 26 F-35B, dans la version STOVL (décollage court et atterrissage vertical), allaient être ajoutés, menant la flotte totale de F-35B anglais à 74 avions. La commande initiale britannique portait sur 48 exemplaires (ils ne seront plus que 47 après l'accident d'un exemplaire au décollage depuis le porte-aéronefs HMS Queen Elizabeth en janvier dernier) et le Royaume-Uni en aligne aujourd'hui 23. Des discussions seraient en cours avec Lockheed Martin pour le financement, alors que des fonds ont été débloqués pour ce futur achat mais aussi pour les infrastructures, l'entretien et les personnels associés. Sur les 74 appareils, une partie sera utilisée dans des unités de conversion opérationnelle afin d'entrainer les futurs pilotes anglais et une autre partie sera aussi immobilisée pour des entretiens. En ce qui concerne les 64 autres avions pour atteindre la flotte de 138 F-35B, « prévue » en 2006, ils sont toujours envisageables d'après le Maréchal de l'Air, mais il insiste sur le fait qu'une décision définitive sera prise au milieu de la décennie. Le délai s'explique par la volonté anglaise d'avancer sur le Futur Combat Air System et de choisir ensuite le nombre définitif de F-35B au sein de la Royal Air Force et de la Fleet Air Arm.
