Multiplier
•
A portfolio of leading EO/IR/Laser
turrets continuously evolving to
meet tomorrow’s emerging
imaging requirements
WESCAM’s portfolio of Multi-Sensor, Multi-Spectral (MS2) turrets is the industry’s only modular family of
highly-stabilized Imaging and Targeting systems.
MX-20HD
MX-20D
Engineered with precision optics, advanced EO/IR technology, and superior gyro-stabilization, MS2 systems are
proven in-theater, having controlled the battlespace from every altitude. With over 1700 systems fielded world-wide,
WESCAM’s turrets can be found on over 100 different types of airborne, marine and land-based platforms.
Within WESCAM’s portfolio of Imaging and Targeting Systems is a series of turrets that feature common electronics and
cabling, a common user interface, common video overlays and common software and internal components.
This family is known as the MX™-Series.

Technology That Conquers
From legacy to new platform introductions,
product enhancements developed and
integrated by WESCAM continue to
conquer industry-wide mission and
integration challenges:
Integrated MCUs:
Reducing once-needed
cables and LRUs enables
lighter weight & simplified
integration solutions.
MX-GEO:
User friendly modes
of operation enable
turrets to automatically
point, focus, locate
and track with
unparalleled accuracy.
NTSC
720p
1080p HD Imaging Resolution:
With more pixels on target, sharper colors, bolder contrasts and finer details, the detection of critical Intel is made easier.
Enhanced Local Area
Processing (ELAP):
Increased standoff
range, improved feature
recognition and maximized haze penetration provides
operators higher resolution and enhanced situational
awareness.
Without ELAP
Laser Target Designators:
Compact, efficient and reliable diode-pumped
laser technology achieves unparalleled designating
ranges and high MTBF while in-theater.

Modular and Scalable
Modernizing Older Generation Turrets:
WESCAM’s Imaging and Targeting Systems are
modular in design - which easily facilitates system
growth. This flexible design allows for individual
sensors to be upgraded without affecting other
sensors. This flexibility allows for:
• The upgrade of existing components to newer technology
• The addition of new components to increase your system’s functionality
• A low training burden – common system components and interfaces
• The best value for smaller budgets - innovative solutions and low “whole life costs”
Ground Systems (GS) & Capabilities:
Having base-lined the mission-proven EO/IR/Laser technology within MX-Series of airborne
turrets, WESCAM now offers class-leading visual dominance capabilities from the ground.
MX-10GS
MX-15GS
Providing leading-edge survivability solutions focused on magnification, resolution and
stabilization, WESCAM’s MX-10GS and MX-15GS imaging turrets are the answer for end-users operating vehicles at
high speeds through desert environments, and rough urban terrain. With High Definition (HD) imaging resolution,
4-axis stabilization, 24/7 EO imaging and 360° viewing capability, these products have the ability to detect, identify
and neutralize threats from beyond the threat envelope.
Deploy multiple MX airborne and ground systems in layered ranges and overlapping fields of
view, and visualize continuous networked coverage and threat hand-off between sensors.
This capability allows for the uninterrupted surveillance of borders, forward operating bases,
airfields and other vital assets.
Integrator of Leading ISR Communication Systems
As prime contractor for many multi-million dollar programs, WESCAM is relied on to
provide more than EO/IR turrets. Fitting sensor turrets with wireless communication
equipment, WESCAM incorporates leading sensor technology with today’s finest data
communications and tactical display technology, including Radar, Global Positioning
Systems, Inertial Navigation Systems and Moving Maps to provide a complete
network of shared intelligence.

Closer to the Customer
WESCAM continues to invest heavily
not only in product development, but
also in customer care. From single
operator configurations to complex,
multi-operational systems, the following
support infrastructure is in place to
support WESCAM’s customers:
Repair Depots:
WESCAM has expanded its
global footprint by partnering
with leading service providers
to create strategically located
Service Centers (WSCs) around
the world. WSCs provide support
services so customer operational
availability remains high. WSC
technicians are factory trained
and certified, and all follow
WESCAM’s documented
in-house procedures.
Field Support
Representatives (FSRs):
WESCAM’s FSRs are
factory-trained technicians,
experienced in performing
diagnostics and repairs anywhere
in the world. Available for
dispatch within 24 hours from
the closest WSC location, FSRs
respond rapidly to customer calls
for on-site repairs.
MX-RAid:
Now all WESCAM MX™ systems can
interface with diagnostic software
that can be used to perform checks,
calibrations, firmware updates
and log errors from in the field.
This service reduces delays in
determining and repairing system
faults, eliminates no-fault-found
returns, significantly reduces
response time results and reduces
downtime for the end user.
