L-3, July 22, 2020 - MELBOURNE, Florida — L3Harris Technologies has completed delivery of its 5,000th WESCAM MX-Series imaging system since launching the product line in 1997.

The milestone was recently celebrated when a WESCAM MX-20 turret was delivered to the U.S. Navy for deployment on its P-8A maritime patrol aircraft.

“This milestone is significant because it represents the culmination of 20 years supporting the U.S. Navy in fulfilling its critical anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and search and rescue missions,” said Sean Stackley, President, Integrated Mission Systems, L3Harris.

To date, L3Harris has delivered more than 500 WESCAM MX systems in support of U.S. Navy airborne programs with the Navy’s P-3C Orion maritime patrol aircraft being the first platform to ever fly a WESCAM MX-Series turret.

In the 20 years since, the Navy has employed both WESCAM MX-20 and WESCAM MX-15 systems on U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps platforms such as the P-3C, P-8A, King Air, OV-10, A-29, C-130J and various aerostats.
