L-3 WESCAM is a world leader in the design and manufacture of stabilized, multi-spectral airborne imaging systems: stable visual intelligence from moving platforms, and transmission images and data in real time to strategic command centres for interpretation and response.
Effective in the most demanding environments, our multi-sensor turrets suit a variety of needs single and multi-spectral payloads short-range, mid-range and long-range lenses daylight, low-light and thermal sensor cameras laser rangefinders and designators
Our geo-package offers advanced precision and ease of use by locking sensors on geospatial information and using this to assist with tracking, steering and focus.
These systems are designed to provide unparalleled image stability and long-range magnification from a wide range of moving platforms, including rotary and fixed wing aircraft, unmanned vehicles, and ships.
