Night Vision Equipment Support

Night Fighting Equipment Support

L3Harris works with the Lethality and Situational Awareness Systems Program Office (LSASPO) to equip and sustain the entire Australian Defence Force (ADF) with the best night fighting equipment in the world including helmet-mounted night vision goggles, and laser aiming devices and range finders that attach to specified ADF weapons for dismounted combatants, including regular infantry, Special Forces and selected elements of the Navy and Air Force. The high-performance, lightweight L3Harris products provide the warfighter with increased lethality, mobility and situational awareness.

The systems include:

Binocular Night Vision Device (BNVD) AN/PVS-31

Binocular Night Vision Devices (BNVD)

The L3Harris Binocular Night Vision Device, also known by the military nomenclature AN/PVS-31A, is a compact, lightweight, Generation III high-performance white phosphor dual-tube goggle

Mini Integrated Pointing Illumination Module (MIPIM)

Laser Aiming and Illumination Devices (LAID) AN/PEQ-16B

The L3Harris LAID is a key tool for aiming weapons at spot targets, often paired with Night Vision Goggles (BNVDs) for enhanced situational awareness

Squad Rangefinder (SRF)

Laser Aiming, Illumination and Ranging Devices (LAIRD)

The L3Harris Squad Rangefinder is the next generation of lightweight, miniaturized laser rangefinders that utilizes eye-safe transmission at 1,550 nm.

From our Brisbane based Indo-Pacific Regional Support Centre (RSC), we monitor the night fighting equipment fleet, replenish consumables and conduct repairs. Utilizing the Australian Department of Defence inventory management systems we provide optimized levels of asset availability to the Warfighter, a service that ensures their enduring mission success. Working together, Night Fighting Equipment requiring repairs or with suspected faults is collected by L3Harris from Defence units, evaluated, repaired, and returned back to the ADF. L3Harris provides direct support to the first and second line ADF brigades and end users, delivering enduring levels of asset availability throughout, which the ADF counts on to achieve their mission goals.

THE INDUSTRY’S BEST-INTEGRATED WARFIGHTER TECHNOLOGIES

Our ISS experts will tailor a system to best fit your mission requirements, operational environments and budget. This includes re-purposing your existing tactical equipment to minimize hardware and software replacement.

Most Advanced Night  Vision Goggle Systems

  • Improves SA, mobility and protection to achieve overmatch capability
  • Combines thermal and image intensification technology to operate in degraded visual environments
  • Brings weapon sight into goggle, allowing soldiers to fire at targets while behind covered positions

Leading-Edge, Battle-Proven Technologies

  • Software-defined, single- and dual-channel multiband radios
  • Self-forming, self-healing voice, video and data MANET
  • Advanced interoperability with Type 1 and sovereign encryption
  • Network connectivity supports advanced SA including Close Air Support, Position Location Information (PLI), video, chat and VoIP

State-Of-The-Art Precision Targeting

  • Incorporates integrated ballistic calculator with solutions-based on range and atmospheric conditions
  • Provides enhanced visibility at extended range during field maneuvers, surveillance and engagement while protecting soldiers from being detected

Seamless ISR Data Flow
