L-3 Wescam, manufacturer of stabilized, multi-spectral imaging systems, reported sales of more than $13 billion last year and has launched two new systems that are designed to lower the cost of development testing and sustainment of fielded electro-optical/infrared surveillance and targeting systems. The new MX-Emulator and MX-Raid are part of L-3 Wescam’s MX portfolio serving the military, homeland security and airborne law enforcement.
Designed to replicate the functionality of airborne and ground-based MX systems, MX-Emulator helps lower system integration lab (SIL) development costs for integrators and OEMs. The ability of MX-Emulator to “replicate the exact functionality of airborne- and ground-based MX systems,” including “connectivity to all standard control systems, including hand-controllers, operator control units, joysticks and mission grips,” is being demonstrated at the L-3 pavilion (Static E170).
