L3Harris to supply advanced WESCAM MX-10 sensors for Airbus Helicopters in Canada

By Defence Industry Europe

L3Harris Technologies has been selected to supply its next-generation WESCAM MX-10 electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor systems to Airbus Helicopters Canada. The new systems will be used to enhance aerial support for multiple police services across Canada.

 

The WESCAM MX-10 features high-definition infrared sensors and advanced video tracking, enabling precise surveillance and public safety monitoring. It will be integrated into Airbus H125 helicopters to assist with frontline patrols, targeting issues such as vehicle theft, street racing, and other public safety concerns.

 

 

“Front-line operators, including pilots and tactical flight officers, rely on our advanced EO/IR sensor systems every day to complete their missions,” said Tom Kirkland, Vice President and General Manager, Targeting and Sensor Systems, L3Harris. “Our focus is to provide our customers with the most advanced imaging technologies that help keep our communities safe and this contract continues that important mission.”

 

 

L3Harris’ WESCAM MX-Series EO/IR systems are designed for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and target acquisition missions across air, land, and sea platforms. Earlier in 2024, the company announced a contract to supply WESCAM MX-15D systems to Airbus Helicopters for the German armed forces’ H145M multi-role helicopter fleet.
