Mission
Provides the Soldier with enhanced situational awareness day or night in all weather and degraded battlefield conditions.
The AN/PSQ-20 Enhanced Night Vision Goggle (ENVG) is a helmet-mounted passive device for the individual Soldier that combines scene data from a low-light level sensor and a long-wave infrared sensor into a single, integrated image. The ENVG improves the Soldier’s situational awareness by providing the capability to rapidly detect and recognize man-sized targets while maintaining the ability to see detail and use weapon-mounted aiming lights.
A digital upgrade package for the ENVG will take advantage of image processing techniques to improve image clarity and situational awareness for the Soldier. A digital system will lend itself to the battlefield of the future with the ability to import and export digital files (data/map injection).
The ENVG weighs two pounds, with four AA batteries, and provides target recognition ranges comparable to, or better than, the AN/PVS-14. The ENVG is compatible with the Multifunctional Aiming Lights currently in the Army inventory.

Product Manager Soldier Maneuver Sensors (SMS) provides Soldiers with products for enhanced vision, improved targeting, and greater lethality. Development of the Enhanced Night Vision Google (ENVG) is one example of PEO Soldier’s leadership in this area. The ENVG, initially fielded to units supporting Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom in FY09, provides the individual Soldier with enhanced situational awareness day or night in all weather and degraded battlefield conditions. The ENVG is a helmet-mounted passive device that combines scene data from a low-light level sensor and a long wave sensor into a single, integrated image.
