PHI Air Medical is working alongside Aviation Specialties Unlimited to add ASU's night vision goggles into its operation. The E3 NVGs are designed to meet the rigorous demands of air medical operations in low light.
Since 1995, ASU has been a trusted partner in supporting HEMS missions, providing cutting-edge night vision solutions that enhance operational safety and efficiency.

US air ambulance provider PHI Air Medical has acquired E3 night vision goggles (NVGs) from Aviation Specialties Unlimited (ASU), strengthening its commitment to operational excellence and safety in air medical transport.

The E3 NVGs, known for their lightweight design and advanced performance, will significantly enhance the night-time operational capabilities of PHI Air Medical's fleet. The goggles will enable pilots to perform missions with greater precision and safety, ensuring better service to patients and communities.

“We are thrilled to integrate ASU's E3 night vision goggles into our operations,” says Jordan Lewis, vice president, supply chain at PHI Air Medical. “This acquisition underscores our dedication to investing in the best technology available to enhance our vision of moving communities to health. 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.”

ASU developed the E3 NVGs with a focus on improving night vision technology for pilots by prioritising comfort, alleviating fatigue and minimising repetitive stress injuries. The advanced design of the E3 NVGs enhances situational awareness, allowing pilots to navigate more safely and effectively during night operations.

“We are thrilled to support PHI Air Medical with our latest E3 night vision goggles,” comments Dan Meyer, vice president of sales at ASU. “We share PHI's commitment to safety and excellence in air medical transport. The E3 NVGs are designed to meet the rigorous demands of air medical operations, and we are confident that they will make a significant impact on PHI's mission capabilities.”

Since 1995, ASU has been a trusted partner in supporting HEMS missions, providing cutting-edge night vision solutions that enhance operational safety and efficiency. The integration of the E3 NVGs is part of PHI Air Medical's broader strategy to leverage innovative technologies to improve service delivery and operational effectiveness.

“We are proud of our partnership with ASU and look forward to the positive impact that the E3 NVGs will have on our operations across the country,” adds Lewis. “For years, PHI has been an industry leader in air medical transport, and this acquisition asserts our commitment to staying ahead with the best technology and practices.”
