WESCAM® MX®-10D, Airborne Targeting and Designating

About WESCAM MX-Series Airborne Targeting Solutions

L3Harris’ designating systems enables teams to dominate the battlefield 24/7, with greater precision than ever before. Field proven, with extensive deployment, their WESCAM MX-Series designating systems offer “plug-and-play” installation, and high-sensitivity multi-spectral sensors for day, low-light and night-time missions. High mean-time-between-failures are achieved through a diode-pumped laser target designator, and systems offer precise geo-pointing technologies for hands-free simplicity regardless of aircraft movement or obstructions. The capability is here. Now is the time to invest in visual technologies that dominate enemy operations.

Open Architecture Is the Battlefield Advantage

As the U.S. military looks to control the electromagnetic environment, open architecture has emerged as the essential foundation. Systems built around open standards can plug in quickly, share data freely and evolve rapidly – qualities the Department of War sees as critical to Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2).
