The equipment described herein may require Canadian and/or U.S. Government authorization for export purposes. Diversion contrary to Canadian and/or U.S. law is prohibited.
The WESCAM MX-15 is an advanced,
industry-leading stabilized multi-sensor,
multi-spectral imaging system that is
renowned for high performance, operator
ease-of-use, and reliability. It’s ideal
for a wide range of missions, including
medium altitude covert intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance, armed
reconnaissance, search and rescue. The
system provides imagers for optimal
performance in a wide range of conditions;
bright sunlight, overcast/dusk, smoke,
and complete darkness. That is supported
by a suite of advanced image processing
algorithms for noise reduction,
sharpening, and local area contrast
enhancement that aid feature recognition.
Superior stabilization is the key to
achieving the maximum target detection,
recognition, and identification range
performance from the imagers. The
WESCAM MX-15 achieves this with
a hybrid active and passive jitter
suppression system. This proven
architecture stabilizes all devices on the
optical bench equally. In addition, stable
and accurate target geolocation ensures
that the crosshairs stay on a stationary
target, regardless of changes to aircraft
position, attitude, and heading.
This significantly reduces the operator
burden in keeping eyes on target.
Advanced processing features such as
object tracking, image blending, and
moving target indication further serve to
automate the search and tracking process,
allowing the operator to focus on the
target versus the equipment.
To ensure that the WESCAM MX-15 is
fit for the mission, it is fully qualified
to MIL -STD-810 for environmental
withstanding, MILSTD-461 for
electromagnetic compatibility, and
MIL -STD-704 for power quality.
