WESCAM designs and manufactures the MX-Series grouping of stabilised EO/IR/Lasing turrets for surveillance and targeting applications on land, sea and air. With 40 years of design experience, WESCAM continues to enhance its MX-Series product line with leading magnification, resolution and stabilization technology. The design of WESCAM’s turrets enables simplified cabling options and lighter overall installation weights – allowing for integration versatility and prolonged time in theatre. With varying sizes, weights, and clearance levels, WESCAM has flight-proven surveillance and targeting solutions for all types of platforms. Over 2000 systems are fielded world-wide, and WESCAM’s systems can be found on more than 100 different types of fixed wing, rotary-ring and aerostat airborne platforms, as well as numerous ground, and sea-based platforms.

WESCAM continually re-invests in product development, and continues to provide leading visual capabilities. The following technological advances can be found within WESCAM’s 2012 product line:

• High Definition IR: Providing a true HD image over a wide IR field-of-view
• Increasing identification ranges: 20 per cent in both lowlight and daylight conditions
• 1500mm Spotter: Improving range performance by 50 per cent
• Laser Spot Tracker: Acquires and tracks a laser designator spot originating from ground forces or allied aircraft
• Embedded Navigation-Grade IMU: When coupled with existing IMU, this technology creates a 3x-4x improvement in the angular accuracy of our MX-GEO target tracking software suite
• Short Wave IR: Expanding the spectral domain
• 10 Sensor Payload Capacity: Expanding mission flexibility in all environmental conditions

As WESCAM’s installed base of equipment continues to expand, WESCAM is well positioned to deliver off-shore support services through 12 maintenance facilities, 24 hour dispatchable Field Service Representatives and MX-RAid remote diagnostic testing capabilities.
