The WESCAM MX-Series EO/IR systems, field-proven and integrated with high-performance tracking software and advanced image processing, are designed to provide effective targeting and designating against emerging unmanned system threats. L3Harris highlighted the successful integration of these sensors across multi-role and C-UxS platforms, supporting intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and target acquisition missions in all domains.

 

 

“L3Harris Counter-UxS solutions, including our WESCAM MX-Series EO/IR sensor systems, are pushing the boundaries of kinetic solutions for UAS engagement,” said Tom Kirkland, Vice President & General Manager, Targeting & Sensor Systems, L3Harris Technologies. “New land platforms from Kongsberg are a tremendous opportunity to further prove the effectiveness of our systems against the growing global UAS threat.”

 

 

Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, a leading integrator of modular and scalable C-UxS systems, is focusing on adapting its land platforms with advanced sensors, command-and-control systems and both kinetic and non-kinetic effectors. The collaboration builds on the company’s experience in delivering operationally flexible solutions for counter-unmanned systems.
