The WESCAM MX-20 systems are designed to enhance intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, including operations in challenging environments such as the Arctic. “Integrating our proven technology with the P-8A equips Canada with the most advanced ISR imaging solution,” said Tom Kirkland, Vice President and General Manager, Targeting and Sensor Systems, L3Harris.
“Maritime and national security, including missions in the Arctic, require extremely reliable systems like the WESCAM MX-20 to enhance critical security coast-to-coast,” Kirkland added. The contract also represents a significant milestone for L3Harris, marking the delivery of the 8,000th WESCAM MX-Series electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) system to global customers.
WESCAM MX-Series systems are currently in service in more than 87 countries, supporting air, land and sea missions across over 260 different platforms. This new order follows a previous Canadian acquisition of 11 WESCAM MX-20 systems announced last year for a new fleet of remotely piloted aircraft.
