Engineering, manufacturing and operations personnel collaborate from the design stage to establish imaging capabilities suited to each customer’s needs. The company says this coordination addresses performance, reliability and sustainment throughout the system’s lifecycle.
“Our approach is centered on mission outcomes,” said Donald Cummings, general manager, WESCAM, L3Harris. “We design and build every system with precision, resiliency, performance and scalability in mind, allowing us to deliver highly capable solutions while maintaining the flexibility to meet evolving customer requirements.”
Production controls support consistency and delivery
Engineers and technicians apply manufacturing standards throughout component integration, calibration, testing and final acceptance. L3Harris says its advanced manufacturing techniques and production processes are designed to maintain consistent system quality.
Streamlined workflows, digital engineering practices and continuous process improvements support production efficiency. These measures help accelerate delivery timelines while maintaining WESCAM MX-Series quality standards, according to the company.
“Manufacturing excellence is about more than building products,” said Tony Calderon, president, Targeting & Sensor Systems, L3Harris. “It’s about creating repeatable, high-quality processes that allow us to deliver reliable systems at scale while ensuring every system meets rigorous and demanding performance standards.”
Modular design allows capabilities to evolve
The MX-Series modular architecture allows customers to configure systems around specific operational requirements. It also provides pathways to incorporate new technology and adapt capabilities without replacing entire systems.
Support extends from design and engineering through manufacturing, fielding, sustainment and customer service. Personnel with experience operating the systems during global operations contribute practical knowledge to that work.
L3Harris says it remains focused on advancing manufacturing capabilities and investing in innovation as operational requirements change. The company also identifies its skilled workforce as central to delivering and supporting the systems.
