Tactical Tech


The unit currently uses a fleet of MD 530FFs for its patrol missions. There are plans to introduce an Airbus H125 into the fleet in the near future. The MD 530FFs are a platform for some of the most sophisticated law enforcement equipment in the industry. For example, the aircraft’s tactical flight officer (TFO) utilizes the Churchill ARS-700 georeferenced moving map system with augmented reality display.


Additionally, the aircraft are configured with the L3Harris Wescam MX-10 camera/ sensor. The MX-10 is a smaller, capable sensor system incorporating field-proven, fully active 4-axis stabilization with multi- spectral sensors that provide imaging over multiple wavebands, ensuring both day and night imaging capability over a wide range of weather conditions. Morris reflects, “Even if for some reason a criminal does happen to get away from our ground units during pursuit, if the helicopter is on scene and using the MX-10, the video quality is so high, the footage is often used at a later point to put the suspect at the scene and help get an indictment.”


With the combination of the Churchill system and the L3 Wescam MX-10 camera/sensor, the amount of data available to the TFO is significant and not only assists in arrests, but also helps drive safer tactical decisions when guiding ground units.
