The system amplifies ambient light (moon, stars, skyglow, etc) so the viewed scene becomes clearly visible, enabling improved night vision. The Image Intensifier is the component responsible for amplifying ambient light. The Government does not possess the technical data package (TDP), detailed drawings and performance specifications for these items. This is not a developmental effort. Current designs have been approved by Product Manager - Soldier Manuever Sensors (PM-SMS). Alternate designs must be approved by PM-SMS. The following additional NAICS apply: 334290 The Government requires an estimated quantity of the following over 10 years: • 20,627 MX-10160A (NSN: 5855-01-423-1497), • 16,759 MX-10160C (NSN: 5855-01-503-4799), and • 2,060 MX-12389 (NSN: 5855-01-589-3816) Military night vision and image intesnifier tubes are considered defense unique technology due to the high quality and performance requirements and are covered by International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and export control regulations.
