Robert Spingarn -- Credit Suisse -- Analyst
Good morning. So Chris, I just jumped in from another call, so I missed a couple of things. But I wanted to ask you about enhanced night vision and about the funding trends that you expect there. It looks strong in the [Inaudible], but it also looks like DoD is looking at the IVAS headset as well.
And so I wanted to see where you -- how you think that competition stacks up and how those two programs compete against one another?
Chris Kubasik -- Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President
Yes. Thanks. I'm aware there's another call, we try to get our notice out about 30 days earlier, so I know it's putting everybody in a tough situation. So thanks for bouncing back and forth.
I'm sure you can listen to it later tonight. But the funding looks good on both programs. And IVAS, which is a modified Microsoft HoloLens and what we're doing, enhance night vision we believe are in fact complementary. We've had meetings as recently as two weeks ago with the Army, and I think there's -- both programs are clearly supported.
They aligned with their priorities. There's plenty of money for both in the budget. And we're focused on performing and delivering our products on time. I think our first delivery is in August.
I was up there with my team in New Hampshire just several weeks ago, and the new production line looks great. The team is incentivized and motivated. We have the right metrics in place. The supply chain is supporting us.
So we're going to focus on enhanced night vision. We do have some augmented reality capabilities and technology. And the Army -- I think what we do best is listen to our customers, and they want both, and we're supporting. Do they converge down the road in some form? Maybe, but it's a priority, and we're going to perform in our program for the 10,000-plus that are under contract.
And there'll be competition for the remaining 90,000 ENVGs, as you know, over the next couple of years, and we expect to bid and win those and deliver to the Army. So...
