L-3 Communications (NYSE:LLL) announced today that its
Integrated Sensor Systems (ISS) sector within its Electronic
Systems segment has been selected under a U.S. Foreign Military
Sales (FMS) contract to provide eight WESCAM MX™-10D
electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) designating turrets to a
Middle Eastern nation’s Ministry of Defense.
L‐3’s MX‐10Ds will be used by the customer in support of
counterterrorism operations from its newly acquired UH-60 Black
Hawk helicopters. Turret deliveries to Sikorsky, the integrator for
the program, began in June 2016 and will continue through February
2017.
“This is a key win in an important and emerging international
market,” said Steve Kantor, president of L-3’s Electronic Systems
business segment. “L-3 WESCAM has a well-established record of
providing innovative technologies that give our customers the
distinct advantage needed for their security operations.”
“We are proud to provide our end user with a powerful and
affordable designating solution that will work in conjunction with
legacy systems to deliver a unique and essential integrated EO/IR
system,” added Paul Jennison, vice president of government sales
and business development for L-3 WESCAM, a unit of L-3’s ISS
sector.
L-3’s imaging systems range in size from 8 inches to 25 inches
in diameter and provide high-resolution, stabilized full-motion
intelligence in support of low-level tactical to high-altitude,
ultra long-range persistent missions.
With fully active four-axis MX™-Series stabilization, the
MX-10Ds are configured with a series of high-sensitivity,
multi-spectral sensors that enable precision engagement from
tactical ranges during daylight, low-light and nighttime missions.
The sensors include a four field-of-view thermal imager, a
high-definition daylight continuous zoom TV and a low-light
continuous zoom TV, as well as advanced laser designator,
rangefinder and illuminator technologies.
