and business development for L-3 WESCAM. “The MX-15D was chosen to support the trials because
of its
fi eld-proven la- ser designation performance when fl own from SOCOM and AFSOC air- craft,

L-3 WESCAM’s MX-15D Designating Turret Aids in Weapons Demonstration
L-3 WESCAM recently announced that its MX-15D designating turret was successfully used during a weapons demonstration on the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft. The demonstration eff ort is part of the Advanced Technology Tiltrotor (ATTR) program. Through a cooperative agreement between Bell Helicopter and L-3 WESCAM, the fi rst-time designating trials were recently conducted over a 14-day period in November at the U.S. Army’s Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona.
“Flight trials were conducted to demon- strate the armed capability of the V-22 with precision and non-precision forward-fi ring weapons,” said Paul Jen- nison, vice president of government sales
Another key successful trial of L-3 WESCAM’s MX-15D concluded in March 2013 when the system obtained Bell’s qualifi cation as an optional advanced targeting system for the company’s 407GT tactical helicopter.
L‐3’s MX‐15D is a multi‐sensor, multi‐ spectral targeting system ideal for military operations, including medium-altitude covert intelligence, surveillance and re- connaissance,
armed (CSAR) and target designation missions.
The MX‐15D is the only stabilized turret solution that enables customers to incor- porate up to fi ve separate digital imaging and four discrete laser capabilities into their confi guration.
