Surveillance equipment specialist L-3 Wescam brought the newest member of its hugely popular MX stabilized turret series to the Helitech event in Amsterdam, marking the European debut of the system, unveiled at the AUSA (Association of the United States Army) show in October. With an 8.3-inch-diameter turret ball and 11-inch-ground-clearance plane, the MX-8 is the smallest of the family, yet has a four-axis system offering an exceptional 35-μrad stabilization. Such a level is particularly important in the smaller platforms for which the turret is primarily intended.
