In the next 18 months or so, the Army expects to field two new systems to dismounted Soldiers that will allow for more rapid acquisition of targets, even those hidden by darkness, smoke or fog. The first will be the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle III, which is expected to be fielded sometime between April and June of 2018. Shortly after, the Army hopes to field the Family of Weapons Sights for Individuals between January and March of 2019. Currently, the FWS-I and the ENVG III are currently in low-rate initial production. It is expected that squad leaders and two team leaders within a squad that might be the first see the FWS-I.
