US Army to conduct final Soldier Touchpoint for latest night vision goggle. (keep our fingers crossed that the ENVG-B (eMagin Displays) jumps the last hurdle cleanly)

Soldiers and Marines will get the chance to put the ENVG-B, which is the first product incorporated with the SL-CFT and AFC, to the ultimate test during the two week LUE through a series of physically and technically rigorous tests leading up to a 36 hour platoon situation training exercise (STX) that includes convoy and range operations, land navigation, and individual movement techniques, among others.

“Throughout the past year and a half, Soldier and Marine feedback from these Touchpoints provided several improvements to the ENVG-B system” says Cpt. Joshua Redmond, ENVG-B Assistant Product Manager, Program Executive Office Soldier (PEO Soldier). “The Soldiers developed the system into what it is today and these goggles have overwhelming user acceptance.” After this LUE, the ENVG-B’s initial fielding will begin as early as September 2019.
