L3 Technologies‘ WESCAM subsidiary has received a set of contracts worth more than $90 million combined to provide electro-optical/infrared imaging systems to multiple U.S. and international defense customers.
The contracts cover the supply of MX Series EO/IR systems to the U.S. Navy, the Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command, Thailand’s navy and Australia’s air force, WESCAM said Tuesday.
WESCAM will deliver MX-10MS maritime sensors for the Krabi-class offshore patrol vessels of Thailand’s navy under a contract from Thai firm Viriyakit.
AFSOC ordered L-3’s MX-20D EO/IR designating systems for installation on the AC-130J Ghostrider aircraft that will replace the command’s AC-130U/W gunships.
