L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL) announced today that its WESCAM
(L-3 WESCAM) subsidiary has been selected by Agusta Westland to
provide 56 MX(R)-15Di turrets as the Electro-Optical Laser Designator
system for the United Kingdom's Future Lynx program. System deliveries
are slated to begin late in 2009 and will continue through 2014.
The British Army's Battlefield Reconnaissance Helicopters (BRH)
and the Royal Navy's Surface Combatant Maritime Rotorcraft (SCMR),
Future Lynx's new airframes, will utilize L-3 WESCAM's exceptional
long-range electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) technology to support
crucial maritime, battlefield reconnaissance and combat missions.
In-service dates for Future Lynx are 2013 for the British Army and
2014 for the Royal Navy.
"We are extremely pleased to have been selected by Agusta Westland
to participate in this important new platform program," said John
Dehne, President of L-3 WESCAM. "This selection demonstrates the
requirement for industry-leading sensor technology and further
strengthens L-3 WESCAM's position as a key supplier of dedicated
solutions to the defense marketplace."
The MX-15Di is part of L-3 WESCAM's MX-Family of imaging products.

growth and reduced life cycle cost. The real-time tactical information
captured by MX systems is used by military and government agencies for
intelligence, surveillance, targeting and reconnaissance missions
worldwide.
