Omni, short for Omnibus, is an ongoing sequence of procurement contracts of the [[United States of America|U.S.]] military for image intensifier tubes in the [[MX-10160]] format.
[[File:Omni 8 Label.png|thumb|Label of an image intensifier of the W91CRB-11-D-0082 (Omni 8) contract]]
Omnibus is an ongoing sequence of procurement contracts of the [[United States Armed Forces|U.S. military]] for image intensifier tubes in the [[MX-11769]], [[MX-10160]], [[MX-10130]], and other formats.


Each iteration of Omni contracts has lead to continuous technological improvements and better resulting night vision performance.
== Omni Categorization ==
As the specifications in Omnibus contracts have increased with technological progress, unaffiliated experts have introduced the Omni categorization system, which has become widely used, even by the agencies themselves.<ref>From e-mail correspondence with [https://github.com/cj7hawk cj7hawk], the original author of the Omni chart</ref>


The values in the table are minimums, unless otherwise specified.
The values in the table are minimums, unless otherwise specified. Each model can be expected to have same or similar specifications after it was first introduced. For example, an Omni VIII MX10160A/AVS-6 (ID 80063-A3256389) will be specified the same as an Omni IV one.<ref>https://aunv.blackice.com.au/forum?index=discussions&story=omni</ref>

An Omni IX contract is currently in development.<ref>MIL-PRF A3314408 Draft https://govtribe.com/opportunity/federal-contract-opportunity/product-manager-soldier-maneuver-sensor-pdm-sms-draft-mil-prf-a3314408-industry-review-milprfa3314408#</ref>

Note: With Omni VIII the minimum specifications were reduced, which leads to more tubes being able to meet them. Therefore it was possible to produce more and cheaper tubes, although most of the supplied tubes would also meet the Omni VII specifications.
 
Contracts that would belong to the Omni IX category are known to be in development.<ref>MIL-PRF A3314408 Draft https://govtribe.com/opportunity/federal-contract-opportunity/product-manager-soldier-maneuver-sensor-pdm-sms-draft-mil-prf-a3314408-industry-review-milprfa3314408#</ref> A new line of image intensifiers produced by [[L3Harris]] called [[L3Harris#SuperGain|SuperGain]] offered by the American retailer TNVC is believed to orginate from the same production line planned to or already in progress of fulfilling these contracts.
 
== Cage Codes ==
To determine the manufacturer of a given contract image intensifier, the ''cage code'' of the manufacturer can be used, often indicated by the abbreviation ''MFR'' or ''CAGE.''

Label of an image intensifier of the W91CRB-11-D-0082 (Omni 8) contract

Omnibus is an ongoing sequence of procurement contracts of the U.S. military for image intensifier tubes in the MX-11769, MX-10160, MX-10130, and other formats.

Omni Categorization[edit | edit source]

As the specifications in Omnibus contracts have increased with technological progress, unaffiliated experts have introduced the Omni categorization system, which has become widely used, even by the agencies themselves.[1]

The values in the table are minimums, unless otherwise specified. Each model can be expected to have same or similar specifications after it was first introduced. For example, an Omni VIII MX10160A/AVS-6 (ID 80063-A3256389) will be specified the same as an Omni IV one.[2]

Note: With Omni VIII the minimum specifications were reduced, which leads to more tubes being able to meet them. Therefore it was possible to produce more and cheaper tubes, although most of the supplied tubes would also meet the Omni VII specifications.

Contracts that would belong to the Omni IX category are known to be in development.[4] A new line of image intensifiers produced by L3Harris called SuperGain offered by the American retailer TNVC is believed to orginate from the same production line planned to or already in progress of fulfilling these contracts.

Cage Codes[edit | edit source]

To determine the manufacturer of a given contract image intensifier, the cage code of the manufacturer can be used, often indicated by the abbreviation MFR or CAGE.
