L3Harris equips German Armed Forces’ H145M helicopters with WESCAM MX-15D sensor systems

By Defence Industry Europe

L3Harris Technologies has announced its partnership with Airbus Helicopters to supply WESCAM MX-15D electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor systems for the German armed forces' new fleet of H145M helicopters. The integration of these systems aims to enhance the operational capabilities of the multi-role aircraft, which is designed for combat support, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and target acquisition missions.

 

The WESCAM MX-15D system offers advanced multi-spectral imaging, stabilisation, and automatic video tracking, providing state-of-the-art airborne sight capabilities. These features enable the H145M helicopters to deliver high-performance results in demanding operational scenarios.

“This integration marks an exceptional step forward for L3Harris on the international stage, integrating our advanced and reliable imaging systems on a leading air combat platform,” said Tom Kirkland, Vice President and General Manager of Targeting and Sensor Systems at L3Harris. “We are proud to partner with Airbus Helicopters, contributing to one of the largest deliveries to the German armed forces.”
