U.S. Army Order Aviation Night Vision Equipment

The U.S. Army gave ITT Corp. a $19.9 million order for aviator night vision goggles and spare image intensifier tubes.

Details of the contract order from the Army Research, Development & Engineering Command for AN/AVS-6 goggles and MX-10160C intensifiers weren't disclosed.

Expect more MX-10160 tubes to make their way into the commercial market sometime in 2011.
