THE BIG PICTURE


By integrating Nett Warrior with the Integrated Tactical Network radios, commanders achieve a consolidated air, ground and fires picture into a single common operating picture.

Te infrared sensor detects heat and can be used during low- and high-light levels, extreme weather and with obscurants. Te ENVG-B is interoperable with the Family of Weapon Sights-Individual for rapid target acquisition that provides the Soldier the ability to accurately engage targets without shouldering the weapon.


Te ENVG-B program began in December 2017 with the approval of a directed requirement to deliver this critical capa- bility to Soldiers. Leveraging an urgent-capability acquisition strategy, the first ENVG-B systems were fielded to Soldiers of the 2nd Brigade, 1st Infantry Division in September 2019.


“Our team worked closely with our partners at the Soldier Lethal- ity Cross-Functional Team to expedite the staffing of the directed requirement and Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Prov- ing Ground to develop a contracting strategy to support the rapid procurement of the ENVG-B,” said Lt. Col. Melissa Johnson, the product manager for Soldier maneuver sensors. “Without the exceptional support of both of those teams, we wouldn’t have achieved the critical milestone of placing the first ENVG-B system into the hands of Soldiers in such a short period,” said Johnson.


PRODUCTS EXPEDITED PEO Soldier’s partnership with the ENVG-B’s primary contrac- tors, L3 Harris and Elbit Systems America, was another one of the key aspects of expediting the program timeline. With their help and flexibility through the pandemic, PEO Soldier met major production and delivery milestones.

pandemic. For the ENVG-B directed requirement, L3 Harris delivered the 10,000th ENVG-B this past April and Elbit delivered ENVG-B systems to support continued production qualification testing. Tese were significant achievements by the team and were directly influenced by the level of effective and consistent communication across all teams.


Similar to L3 Harris and Elbit, the entire PEO Soldier team faced challenges during the pandemic and had to rely on the dedication of its staff to meet various challenges in delivering the ENVG-B. Even through the pandemic, the Soldier Lethality Cross-Func- tional Team and PEO Soldier conducted 16 Soldier touch points
