4 One major objective for the Maryland Military Department is to support the warfight. Advancements in U.S. Army technology can get Soldiers an edge in an ever-changing operational environment.
Nearly 20 Maryland Army National Guard Soldiers were recently requested by the Program Executive Office Soldier to test the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle – Binocular in order to measure the effects of image intensifier tube imbalance for both target identification and depth perception at the Army Research Lab – Human Resources and Engineering Directorate facility in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.
The ENVG-B provides the U.S. Army’s combat forces with the capability to observe and maneuver in all weather conditions, through obscurants, during limited visibility, and under all lighting conditions.
