WESCAM MX™-Series

Airborne Surveillance and Reconnaissance

L3Harris has an airborne portfolio of multi-sensor, multi-spectral systems that are deployed worldwide, at varying ranges, and with overlapping fields-of-view, creating the opportunity for uninterrupted surveillance of borders, forward operating bases, airfields and other vital assets. These imaging and targeting systems are found on more than 260 different types of platforms, including fixed-wing, rotor-wing, UAV and aerostat platforms.

Within our product portfolio is a series of systems that encourage ease and familiarity of use, simplified turret interchangeability within fleets, efficiencies in technology enhancements and overall system support. Featuring common electronics and cabling, common user interfaces and video overlays, and common software and internal components, this family is known as the WESCAM MX-Series.

Because today’s mission requirements demand identification and designation from longer standoff ranges, WESCAM MX-Series products are engineered to focus on the three factors that drive maximum range: resolution, magnification and stabilization.

Airborne ISR

WESCAM MX-Series turrets have outperformed their major competitors in every performance area, giving them the longest EO/IR target identification and designating ranges in the industry (in each class size).

Airborne Targeting and Designating

L3Harris’ designating systems enable teams to dominate the battlefield 24/7, with greater precision than ever before. Field proven, with extensive deployment, WESCAM MX-Series designating systems offer “plug-and-play” installation, as well as high-sensitivity multi-spectral sensors for day, low-light and night-time missions. High mean-time-between-failures is achieved through a diode-pumped laser target designator. WESCAM MX-Series systems offer precise geo-pointing technologies for hands-free simplicity regardless of aircraft movement or obstructions. The capability is here. Now is the time to invest in visual technologies that dominate enemy operations.

Maritime Imaging Systems

Tactical, real-time situational awareness makes all the difference to mission success – providing ships with self-defence technologies that command the seas with precision, clarity and certainty. L3Harris’ leading WESCAM MX-Series EO/IR systems bring a new generation of forward-looking infrared and electro-optical sensor capability to a market where advanced asymmetrical threat identification technologies have become a necessity.

L3Harris’ maritime solutions are engineered with over 45 years of stabilization and design experience. By detecting hostile intent at tactically significant ranges, WESCAM MX-Series turrets not only capture, but seamlessly communicate full-motion video intelligence by integrating with leading maritime mission systems.

The wireless delivery of details, including the location and capability of both friendly and opposing forces, enables 21st-century threats to be detected, verified and neutralized. Today’s generation of maritime sensors are configured to meet the challenges of maritime and coastal domain awareness, from both manned and unmanned vessels afloat or ashore.
