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.
