Exponaval 2022: L3Harris New Generation of Maritime Sensors

Sonar and EO/IR Optics Dominate

With highly stabilised long-range optics and leading sensor technologies, L3Harris continues to deliver powerful situational awareness for global maritime operations – as its presence at Exponaval 2022 made clear.

At Exponaval a decade ago, the then L3 Technologies presented its Helras low-frequency sonar for ASW missions, part of the modernisation package for the Chilean Navy’s AS332 Cougar helicopters. Today, these aircraft feature the L3Harris Ocean Systems Helras DS100 sonar and the L3Harris Wescam MX-15 EO/IR camera. “The Wescam MX marine sensor portfolio is backed by more than 40 years of proven mission experience, global maintenance depots and dedicated personnel around the world,” the company told MON. Daylight and low-light thermal imaging cameras provide robust imaging performance 24/7. The sensor’s continuous zoom capability allows for seamless field of view changes and the device is shockproof to withstand rough sea conditions. It easily integrates into existing C2 systems and will support a variety of maritime systems.

L3Harris is developing new concepts and technology to enable marine operators to improve readiness today and in the future. “As a full spectrum system integrator and network provider, L3Harris is among the world’s leading integrators of C5ISR-T systems for customers around the world. Our expertise offers complete turnkey integration of the entire ship’s electrical, mechanical and electronic systems; power management and distributio; submarine systems; autonomous vehicles; and airborne maritime surveillance and patrol,” noted the company.

Working to make the oceans more transparent, and to maximise the effectiveness of naval vessels, L3Harris offers underwater testing and evaluation ranges to maintain operational readiness, develops modular UUVs for detection, and operationalises payloads and packages at scale and speed to enable distributed maritime operations.
