The Philippine Army has selected Turkish company, Aselsan to supply helmet-mounted/weapon-mounted monocular night vision devices (NVD) as well as weapon-mounted infrared aiming devices and laser zeroing devices. Most of these devices will be delivered to the army’s Special Operations Command (SOCOM). This will be a PHP712.069 million ($15.4 million) contract for 4,464 A100 monocular devices. The A100 monocular NVD weighs 320g and offers a 40ยบ field of view and 1x magnification. The A100 monocular NVD has an advantage when compared to standard binocular night vision goggle. The user maintain adaptation to ambient light viewing and will not experience adjustment problem after the goggle is removed from the eye. The A100 can also be used as a rifle scope when it is mounted together with day sight optics.
A notice to proceed was issued by the Philippines in July and first deliveries could commence in the second quarter of 2017 with completion in late 2017 or early 2018. These new systems will allow Philippine soldiers to fight more effectively at night and in low-light conditions.
