Italy orders L3’s fusion night vision goggles
L3 Warrior Sensor Systems has been selected by the Italian Ministry of Defence to provide fusion night vision goggles as a part of the country’s soldier modernisation programme, the company announced on 11 June.
Fusion technology enables soldiers to switch from a thermal visual display to a traditional image-intensified display, or a combination of the two, without changing or adding a clip-on component to their goggle.
L3 Warrior Sensor Systems’ suite of fusion technology includes the Fusion Goggle System, the Fusion Goggle Enhanced and the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle.
Serge Buchakjian, general manager of International Solutions for L3 Warrior Sensor Systems, said: ‘Our fusion technology delivers an operational advantage to the warfighter that enables them to locate, identify and engage targets at night and in adverse weather conditions.’
Italy is the ninth NATO country to purchase L3’s fusion technology.
