BiNOD Development/Production Award — US Army

50.6M firm-fixed-price contract for Elbit Systems of America to develop and produce Binocular Night Observation Device (BiNOD) systems for the US Army, one of three parallel awards (with L3Harris and Photonis Defense) totaling ~.27-1.3B.

Part of a three-way parallel award (Elbit Systems of America — Night Vision, L3Harris, Photonis Defense) from Army Contracting Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, for the Binocular Night Observation Device (BiNOD, formerly Night Vision Device-Next) — an affordable, ruggedized, helmet-mounted two-tube binocular night-vision system giving stereoscopic depth perception. The firm-fixed-price awards cover development/testing plus a vehicle for future production; per Elbit America's own release and GovConWire, the combined value across all three vendors is reported at roughly $1.27B, considerably larger than the DB's stored per-vendor figure (see Needs Verification).
