The WESCAM MX-15 series is the ideal choice for operations at medium altitudes, offering high flexibility for a variety of applications. The maximum altitude to ensure optimal performance is 15,000 feet (approximately 4,500 meters). It is equipped with fully integrated electronics housed in a rugged casing, guaranteeing reliable operation even under extreme weather conditions. The HD video camera provides sharp, high-resolution image capture, while the HD thermal imaging camera ensures precise visibility in all lighting conditions. A passive vibration isolation system enhances stability and smoothness in recordings, while active 4-axis stabilization delivers excellent image quality even under challenging conditions. These features make the WESCAM MX-15 series perfect for military applications such as surveillance and security operations, as well as for rescue missions.
