Operator selectable
optics filters plus excellent near IR sensitivity in
the EO imagers insures effective haze penetration |
 |
An optional
eye-safe laser rangefinder is designed specifically
to operate in a wavelength that provides maximum performance
in adverse weather conditions |
| |
| IMU |
The
MX-15D, in all configurations, comes equipped with
an onboard Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). This
high-performance unit incorporates solid-state fiber-optic
gyro technology for high sensitivity and reliability
in a compact volume.
Fully utilizing this IMU-inside technology,
the MX-15D further delivers maximum target location
accuracy through employing WESCAM’s MX-GEO features

| GEO-Pointing |
 |
Makes tracking
easy; the turret follows the subject with hands-free
simplicity |
 |
Locks all sensors
on a precise lat/long position and aims the turret
at that fixed point regardless of aircraft movement
or obstructions within your line of sight |
| |
| GEO-Steering |
 |
Eliminates
over-steering by smoothing the motion of the turret |
 |
Relieves the
operator of the strain of continuous compensation |
| |
| GEO-Focus |
 |
Bring any scene
into focus with the flick of a switch |
 |
Ensures correct
focus at all times, even when alternating between sensors |
 |
Automatically
refocus the subject while flying above broken cloud
cover |

| Family
Commonality: |
The
expanded MX-family of turrets maximizes the use of
common components and common interior avionics, simplifying
interchangeability with efficiencies in support and
technology enhancements. This MX-Family commonality
delivers low overall life-cycle costs. |
