- The system's six laser and imaging sensors deliver superior situation context and surpass competitive systems by offering larger zoom ratios and greater magnification.
- The MX-10 incorporates a 4-axis stabilization and an optical bench mounted IMU.
- The MX-10 incorporates interface flexibility including SMPTE HD digital video and NTSC or PAL analog video outputs.
- To integrate the MX-10 with WESCAM's remote diagnostic product, the MX-Raid enables technicians located at WESCAM service facilities to perform checks, calibrations and firmware updates on fielded units around the world
- The MX-10 fits into the MX-Series portfolio of EO/IR imaging products.
