L-3 Communications LLL announced today that its WESCAM subsidiary has been awarded a third indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contract from the U.S. Air Force. Valued at $200 million, the funding from this contract will be used to purchase the latest generation of L-3’s MXTM-15Di targeting systems, complete with high-definition (HD) sensors, and MXTM-20D targeting systems, also with HD sensors, for an undisclosed customer. Over an 18-month period, three ID/IQ contracts have been awarded to WESCAM, enabling the Air Force to purchase a total of $400 million of products and services. The MX-15Di systems procured under this latest contract will be used on the Project Liberty program, which L-3 also supports as the prime contractor and systems integrator.
