Now entering its second year on the market, the E3 aviation night vision goggle (NVG) by Aviation Specialties Unlimited (ASU) has established itself as a trusted tool for pilots worldwide. After a standout debut in early 2024, over 375 units were sold to operators ranging from air medical providers to law enforcement and search-and-rescue teams.
E3’s lightweight design, infinity view for enhanced situational awareness, and rapid delivery have earned it a reputation as the NVG of choice for pilots prioritizing safety and efficiency.
With a 30 percent weight reduction compared to traditional NVGs, E3 effectively addresses long-standing challenges like neck strain and pilot fatigue. Its adoption has been further propelled by ASU’s streamlined manufacturing process, ensuring both quality and availability. Additionally, ASU offers E4, a panoramic version designed for specialized missions, further expanding the capabilities of ASU’s night vision technology.
Customer success
The continued success of E3 can be seen in the endorsements from early adopters who have integrated it into their operations.
“We are thrilled to integrate ASU’s E3 night vision goggles into our operations,” said Jordan Lewis, vice president of supply chain at PHI Air Medical. “This acquisition underscores our dedication to investing in the best technology available to enhance our vision of [connecting] communities to [better healthcare]. The E3 NVGs will provide our pilots with superior visibility and situational awareness, ultimately providing a safer environment for the patients and the communities we serve.”
Boston MedFlight, which also added E3 units to its fleet, echoed these sentiments. “This purchase is a major investment in the safety of our employees,” said Rick Kenin, chief operating officer for transport at Boston MedFlight. “Our team is tasked with performing lifesaving missions every day, often in challenging environments. Improved visibility and reducing the weight of their equipment allows them to focus on the critical tasks of piloting our aircraft and providing patient care.”
A trusted partner
Over the past year, E3 has become a cornerstone of ASU’s mission to improve aviation safety and operational performance. Pilots appreciate its compatibility with legacy systems, its reduced maintenance needs, and its enhanced unaided vision — features that save time, reduce fatigue, and increase mission success rates. E3’s durability and reliability have made it a must-have for aviation professionals worldwide.
The E3 night vision goggle is no longer the “new kid on the block.” Its second year will prove E3 to be an indispensable tool for modern aviation. With its growing user base and track record of success, E3 is more than a product — it’s a trusted solution that continues to redefine the standards of night vision technology.
