US Navy Selects WESCAM MX-10MS for Military Sealift Command Vessels

L3Harris press release

The order is part of a multi-year IDIQ contract awarded to L3Harris in 2017 from the U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC).

L3Harris’ WESCAM MX-10MS sensor suite will be integrated into a larger systems-based solution by NSWC to provide real-time situational awareness, reconnaissance and surveillance operations; coastal observation; and navigational hazard documentation from a fleet of Military Sealift Command ships.

“We’re continuing to see an increased global demand for our maritime solutions, as we provide the best day- and night-time imaging performance at an affordable price. Airborne and maritime MX systems have supported navies on a global scale from the air and maritime domains for over 15 years – our latest generation of maritime sensors have been re-engineered to meet the challenges of evolving maritime and coastal domain awareness missions.”


Sean Stackley, President, Integrated Mission Systems, L3Harris

L3Harris has delivered more than 500 WESCAM MX systems since 1997 in support of U.S. Navy airborne and maritime programs.
