The Defense Logistics Agency-Aberdeen, on behalf of the Army Integrated Logistics Supply Center (ILSC) – Supply Chain Management Directorate (SCMD) – Strategic Sourcing Directorate (SSD), intends to acquire ​Parts​ to support the ENVG-III and ENVG-B. 

Requirements Description: 

​​Sources sought to provide the government with the Mount Viewer, also referred to as the Universal Helmet Mount Assembly (uHMA), (NSN: 5855-01-680-8536).

The ENVG III and ENVG-B are both helmet mounted devices that provide the user with Night Vision, Thermal, and Fusion image capability.  The fusion image is the combination of night vision created by amplifying ambient light (moon, stars, skyglow, etc.) and the thermal image is created by detecting and processing heat signatures of people or objects in the field of view into a single image.  The uHMA is used to mount the ENVG III or ENVG-B and their battery packs to the soldier’s helmet and provide power to the goggle.  It also carries data to and from the goggle used during rapid target acquisition capability.
