The NVCD/ANVIS, based on ANVIS-F4949 night vision goggles (NVGs), is an additional capability to the joint helmet-mounted cueing system (JHMCS) to allow the cueing of weapons and sensors at night.

VSI president Drew Brugal said the system had been validated and matured to successfully execute air-to-air and air-to-ground tactical missions at night.

The RDAF are participating in the UN enforcement of the no fly zone in Libya.
