MX-15HDi Airborne Camera Turret
1080p True HD technology for the industry's finest EO, IR 24/7 imagery
The MX-15HDi is the High Definition mid-sized turret in the Wescam MX Series of EO/IR/Laser systems. This 15” turret combines high optical zoom performance with rock solid stabilisation (<5 µrads) achieved using a military grade
IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) mounted to
the optical bench inside the turret and a true
6-axis stabilised gimbal.

Fitted with the world’s smallest 1080p HD camera, the MX-15HDi delivers 1080p True HD imagery. 1080p has 2x the resolution of 720p and 6x the resolution of standard definition.

With an integrated MCU (Mission Control Unit) the MX-15HDi has the lowest installed weight
of any other turret in this class.

MX-15HDi:
Turret: <45kg, 15.5” (D) x 18.95” (H)
No external MCU.

The payload comprises of up to 6 sensors:

1)
IR (640 x 512 InSb array, 20 micron pitch,
1) 3-5µm wavelength, 4x FOVs from 26.7°
1) to 0.18°)
2) 1920 x 1080 resolution colour daylight
1) camera with zoom lens (28° to 0.69°)*
3) 1920 x 1080 resolution colour daylight
1) camera with spotter lens (1000mm,
1) 0.14° FOV)*
4) Mono low light camera (EMCCD) with
1) spotter lens (1000mm, 0.14° FOV)
5) Laser illuminator (wide or narrow beam)
6) Laser rangefinder (Eye Safe, 20km range)

* FOVs correct for 1080p HD

Flexibility
The MX-15HDi provides 10 video outputs
(5x digital, 5x analogue). The digital outputs can be set to SD, 720i/720p HD or 1080i/1080p True HD. This flexibility enables the MX-15HDi to interface with digital and analogue, SD and HD equipment.

Digital
EO and IR digital imagery is enhanced
using pixel-based local area processing techniques (spatial and temporal), increasing operational stand-off ranges and providing fog/haze penetration.

MX-GEO Software
GEO-pointing enables the turret to accurately track to an earth location. GEO-Location provides the ground co-ordinates of the image. Utilising that data, GEO-Focus automatically focuses EO/IR images on that location.

• AVT – Auto Video Tracker
• Multiple interfaces (including moving maps,
radar, NightSun)
• Aviation grade materials, constructed to
MIL-STD specifications
