As agreed, L3Harris will deliver around 100 WESCAM MX-RSTA EO/IR systems. These systems will be installed on General Dynamics’ European Land Systems fleet of EAGLE 6×6 vehicles.

The sighting system is usually mounted on amphibious, armoured combat and reconnaissance vehicles for surveillance, reconnaissance and target acquisition missions.

The procurement of WESCAM MX-RSTA systems is expected to enhance Swiss Armed Forces’ land-sighting capability especially during on-the-move armoured vehicular missions.

Currently, L3Harris operates more than 5,000 WESCAM MX systems across 80 countries.

L3Harris Electro Optical president Murali Krishnan said: “The WESCAM MX-RSTA is a key element in the intelligence-gathering solution for the TASYS platform, providing long-range state-of-the-art reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition capabilities.

“We are now entering the production phase of this contract, which will deliver an advanced mounted and dismounted multi-sensor intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capability for the Swiss Armed Forces.”

The deliveries are expected to complete by the end of 2024.

The company is also delivering its Enhanced Night Vision Goggle – Binocular (ENVG-B) to the US Army.
