The AN/PSQ-20A SENVG combines an image intensified (I2 ) tube and infrared (IR) micro-bolometer into a compact monocular. The SENVG system, including helmet mount and batteries, weighs less than 2 pounds. The SENVG will mount on an ACH helmet and will provide: vertical adjustment, flip-up, tilt, fore/aft adjustment; left/right eye use; and quick disconnect from the helmet.

The AN/PSQ-20A can be operated with three AA lithium batteries with over 7.5 hours of fused operation life. The 3 battery pack provides power for helmet-mounted or hand-held use.

| Main features |
• Greater situational awareness due to improved threat detection under most battlefield environments; compatible with traditional weapon system ranges
• Operating on 3 batteries reduces life cycle cost
• Expanded viewing capability from highlight conditions to total darkness (no light) and through battlefield obscurants. Increases capability for urban operations
• Improved wearing comfort due to better weight balance resulting in less fatigue.
• Easy-to-use controls
• Non-exit pupil forming eyepiece allows the soldier to maintain full field of view even as helmet shifts during vigorous physical movements
• Color microdisplay |
| Technology |
|
The AN/PSQ-20A Enhanced Night Vision Goggle (ENVG) provides increased capability by incorporating image intensification and long-wave infrared sensors into a single, helmet-mounted passive device. The ENVG combines the visual detail in lowlight conditions provided by image intensification with the thermal sensor’s ability to see through fog, dust and foliage. This thermal capability makes the ENVG, unlike earlier night-vision devices, useful during the day as well as at night. The two variants are the AN/PSQ-20A and the AN/PSQ-20B.
