Scope & Requirements
The proposed action is for the acquisition of Universal Helmet Mount Assembly (uHMA), NSN: 5855-01-680-8536. The uHMA is a component of the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle III (ENVG III), AN/PSQ-40, and the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binocular (ENVG-B), AN/PSQ-42, AN/PSQ-43, and AN/PSQ-44.
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.
