L3 WESCAM Wins Contracts Valued at More Than U.S. $200 Million During First Half of 2017


L3 WESCAM recently announced that it has won a series of MX™-Series electro- optical/infrared (EO/IR) product and in-service


support contracts valued at more than $200 million USD during the first half of 2017.


The contracts, originating from key global regions, including the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, were placed on behalf of leading defense customers who will leverage the technologies across airborne, land, and maritime domains. Half- year highlights include a heightened demand for MX™ systems on Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) platforms, numerous orders from global Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and a surge in service contracts across the U.S. and United Kingdom.


“We are very pleased that end users and globally based OEMs continue to look to L3 for the essential ISR technologies and logistics support services required to keep missions moving forward,” said Mike Greenley, president of L3 WESCAM. “The collective orders from our first half of the year reaffirm that we are not only creating and investing in the right products, but that we’re aligning our offerings for our customers’ much-valued


support infrastructure, maintaining the full functionality of MX products through their natural life cycle. We expect this demand to continue through the second half of the year.”


The demand for L3 WESCAM’s EO/IR turrets for use on board UAS platforms continued to grow in the first half of the year, with more than 60 units ordered for deployment across six countries. The systems will support worldwide defense and security missions from six different UAS platforms that are active across both land and maritime domains. Systems ordered include surveillance and targeting configurations consisting of the small and tactical MX™-10 through L3’s largest and most powerful MX product, the MX™-25.
