L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) has completed delivery of its 5,000th WESCAM MX-Series imaging system since launching the product line in 1997. The milestone was recently celebrated when a WESCAM MX-20 turret was delivered to the U.S. Navy for deployment on its P-8A maritime patrol aircraft.
“This milestone is significant because it represents the culmination of 20 years supporting the U.S. Navy in fulfilling its critical anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and search and rescue missions,” said Sean Stackley, President, Integrated Mission Systems, L3Harris. “With a level of performance and reliability that has set industry standards in EO/IR imaging and targeting performance, L3Harris’ family of sensor systems has transformed the way customers around the world capture, disseminate and analyze real-time video intelligence.”
To date, L3Harris has delivered more than 500 WESCAM MX systems in support of U.S. Navy airborne programs with the Navy’s P-3C Orion maritime patrol aircraft being the first platform to ever fly a WESCAM MX-Series turret. In the 20 years since, the Navy has employed both WESCAM MX-20 and WESCAM MX-15 systems on U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps platforms such as the P-3C, P-8A, King Air, OV-10, A-29, C-130J and various aerostats.
L3Harris has a company-wide systems-based business model, which includes the WESCAM MX-Series manufacturing center and 13 global authorized service centers to support its customer base.
