Developed by ITT under the direction of PM-Soldier Sensors and Lasers, the AN/PSQ-20 Enhanced Night Vision Goggle is a helmet-mounted passive Image Intensification (I2) and thermal device that incorporates both I2 and long-wave infrared sensors into a single integrated system. It weighs just two pounds, including the battery pack and its four AA batteries, the helmet mount, and wiring harness.
