L3HARRIS AND EDGE OPEN NEW FACILITY IN UAE TO SUPPORT WESCAM MX-SERIES CUSTOMERS

L3Harris Technologies, in collaboration with EDGE, the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) leading advanced technology group for defense, opened a new WESCAM Authorized Service Center (WASC). The state-of-the-art WASC emphasizes L3Harris’ commitment to invest in its growing customer-care ecosystem and establishes a foundation for localized, self-reliant national defense capabilities among its customers.

Managed and operated by expert, locally-trained UAE nationals, the enhanced 42,000-square-foot service facility will be equipped with the tooling, resources and technology required to service WESCAM MX™ Series EO/IR systems operated by the UAE’s Armed Forces and other regional customers. Combined with EDGE’s in-country experience and mission execution, the facility will increase customer operational availability and minimize maintenance turn-around times.

L3Harris will work closely with EARTH, an entity within EDGE, and its Electro-Optical Centre of Excellence (EOCE), one of the world’s leading EO/IR imaging and targeting sensor systems service facilities. The opening fulfills L3Harris’ commitment to enhance the UAE’s service capabilities and establishes a long-term partnership in the region.
