L3Harris Technologies has signed an agreement with Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA) to provide WESCAM MX-10D electro-optical/infrared sensor systems for new Counter-Unmanned Systems (C-UxS) land vehicles, the company stated.
According to L3Harris, the MX-10D systems are equipped with high-performance tracking software and advanced image processing, providing targeting and designation capabilities to counter unmanned aerial threats.
The company added that the sensors are field-proven and part of the broader WESCAM MX-Series, which supports intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and target acquisition missions across air, land, and maritime domains.
Tom Kirkland, Vice President and General Manager of Targeting & Sensor Systems at L3Harris, said in the press release:
“L3Harris Counter-UxS solutions, including our WESCAM MX-Series EO/IR sensor systems, are pushing the boundaries of kinetic solutions for UAS engagement. New land platforms from Kongsberg are a tremendous opportunity to further prove the effectiveness of our systems against the growing global UAS threat.”
L3Harris highlighted that this agreement builds on its record of integrating EO/IR sensors on multi-role and C-UxS platforms.
For its part, Kongsberg is developing modular and scalable land-based C-UxS systems, combining proven vehicle platforms with advanced sensors, command and control systems, and both kinetic and non-kinetic effectors.
