MISSILE DEFENSE
	WESCAM 474™ High Altitude EO/IR Imaging System The WESCAM 474 is an ultra high performance EO/IR stabilized imaging systems designed for long-range surveillance & reconnaissance on airborne, shipborne and ground-based platforms. The WESCAM 474 combines X-Mast™ precision stabilization technology, long focal length, and shared aperture SAS-11™ lens — ensuring mission success through increased stand-off and excellent image clarity. Further, this highly flexible platform offers a wide range of customization possibilities to support many types of missions – especially Emerging Threats, Persistent Surveillance, Free-Space Optical, and long range troop identification to mention only a few.
	WESCAM 494™ High Altitude EO/IR Imaging System The WESCAM 494 brings the advantages of the WESCAM 474 system, with notably more internal space and flexibility for customer sensor or laser payloads. These benefits include the SAS-11™ shared-aperture and X-MAST™ stabilization. The WESCAM 494™ can be fitted with a larger telescope, making it capable of extreme stand-off for maximum optical performance from visible to MWIR.
MISSION SYSTEMS
	WESCAM Eagle™ Ground-Based EO/IR Imaging System The WESCAM Eagle™ brings unparalleled performance and flexibility for ground, vehicle or maritime-based operations. Typical missions include area protection, missile defense, identification of sea vessels/aircraft through fog or clouds, celestial navigation, satellite tracking, free space optical communications, and sea rescue – day or night, good weather or bad. Combined with operator consoles and advanced image processing, the Wescam Eagle™ is a complete solution.
	FAST Platforms & Sensors Flexible Area Surveillance Technology FAST technology provides infrastructure for persistent ISR operations. Whether installed on tethered aerostats or towers — FAST systems provide a turnkey solution including WESCAM MX™ turrets, comm. relays and radios, MTI RADARS, Video Scout™ operator workstations, interoperability with L-3 ROVER™ and other surveillance capabilities.
	Consoles & Controls WESCAM Mission System The baseline L-3 WESCAM Operator Control Console is a workstation console developed to support extended surveillance missions using the Sonoma WESCAM 474 and WESCAM 494. A complete system incorporating trackers, human-machine interfaces, advanced image processors, display systems, and integrated recorders, the Operator Control Console simplifies operator control.

HIGH ALTITUDE TARGETING
	WESCAM MX-12 Small, Lightweight Turret For the best performance in the mid-turret class, WESCAM offers the MX-12. At 55 lbs, the MX-12 Skyball II is half the weight of competitive mid-sized turrets. The MX-12 is fully compatible with MX-series operator interfaces. The turret incorporates an integrated Inertial Measurement Unit to provide precision geo-location, pointing, and stability. A 3 field of view MWIR sensor provides excellent nighttime performance. Matched with a visible spotter and visible context camera, the MX-12 provides the best performance for the lightest weight.
	WESCAM MX-12D Hig Performance, Lightweight Designating Turret For the best performance in its class, WESCAM offers the MX-12D. At 59 lbs, the MX-12D is half the weight of competitive mid-sized turrets. The MX-12 is fully compatible with MX-series operator interfaces. The turret incorporates an integrated Inertial Measurement Unit to provide precision geo-location, pointing, and stability. A 3 field of view MWIR sensor provides excellent nighttime performance. Matched with a laser range finder / designator and visible context camera, the MX-12D provides the best performance for the lightest weight.

LEGACY PRODUCTS
	WESCAM Model 14 Skyball™ Tri, Quad or Penta Sensor Turret Extensively deployed on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and other high performance aircraft for highrisk reconnaissance missions, the Model 14 Skyball is the only actively gyro-stabilized system in its class with the capacity to accommodate up to five sensor payloads for total imaging and tracking capability.
	WESCAM Model 12DS/TS-200 Designed to meet the needs of law enforcement, paramilitary and surveillance applications on both rotary and fixed wing aircraft. The Model 12DS/TS-200 is designed to meet the needs of law enforcement, paramilitary and surveillance applications on both rotary and fixed wing aircraft. Through superior gyro-stabilization and long-range infrared optics, the Model 12DS/TS-200 provides high performance detection, recognition, identification and tracking of persons and vehicles over long distances in daylight, in total darkness, and in less-than-ideal weather conditions.
	WESCAM M12 DS/TS 650™ Long Range Imaging System The M12-650 is next step in the evolution of the Model 12 family of surveillance turrets. Based on the highly successful M12-DS/TS-200, the M12-650 leverages MAST (Multi-Axis Stabilization Technology), a high performance 5-axis stabilization design. The M12-650 is equipped with the latest sensor technology and the M12 family has proven its exceptional reliability, flying for over fifteen years on rotary, fixed wing and unmanned platforms. Our low cost 12” surveillance system is specifically designed for platforms that require lower weight solutions without sacrificing imaging performance.
