L3Harris Provides Next-Generation EO/IR Sensor Systems to Airbus Helicopters for Canadian Police Support

WATERDOWN, Ontario, June 4, 2025 — L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has been selected to provide its next-generation of WESCAM MX™-10 electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor systems to Airbus Helicopters Canada. The technology will enhance air support for several police services in Canada.

The WESCAM MX-10’s high-definition infrared sensors and advanced video tracking technology will allow air support units flying the Airbus H125 helicopter to conduct front-line patrols and help reduce instances of automobile theft, street racing and other disruptions to public safety. 

“Front-line operators, including pilots and tactical flight officers, rely on our advanced EO/IR sensor systems every day to complete their missions,” said Tom Kirkland, Vice President and General Manager, Targeting and Sensor Systems, L3Harris. “Our focus is to provide our customers with the most advanced imaging technologies that help keep our communities safe and this contract continues that important mission.” 

L3Harris’ WESCAM MX-Series multi-sensor, multi-spectral, EO/IR systems support intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and target acquisition missions from platforms across the air, land and maritime domains. In 2024, L3Harris announced the supply of WESCAM MX-15D systems to Airbus Helicopters for the German armed forces and its new fleet of multi-role H145M helicopters.
