    Our story for today

    • Making of an innovative ISR solution for the C-130


    • A result of collaboration & problem solving

    L3HARRIS ISR System Innovation for C-130 L3HARRIS PROPRIETARY INFORMATION 2


    Modular ISR/Strike need & general approach

    • Unfulfilled need for ISR and attack capabilities


    • Non-traditional platforms could help fill that gap and enhance
    their missions if there were an affordable and practical solution
    – Transport aircraft (e.g. C-130, AN-178)
    – No A-kit since ISR/attack likely only installed
    on small fraction of aircraft
    – Modularize B-kit
    – Scalable capability (e.g. start with ISR & upgrade
    later for attack)
    – Practical roll-on/roll-off
    • Eliminate need for major prime ($$$) by:
    – Keeping solution simple & re-use high
    – Using equipment developed & proven for SOF
    applications (precision targeting)

    How we arrived at a fully palletized C-130 solution

    • No existing capability to add ISR/Strike without major Group A modifications


    • Short list of negatives – either cost or schedule
    – Aircraft down time
    – Individual costly fixed turret mounts
    – Not covert
    • Individual costly removable turret mounts
    – Still specific to individual aircraft to retain pressurization capability
    – Not covert
    • Individual aircraft cabling
    • Reduced availability for aircraft to perform its primary mission

    What is the WESCAM MatriX™ Modular Mission
    System
    • A single Roll On / Roll Off (RORO) pallet to convert your C-130 from mobility to
    ISR and/or strike capability

    – Standard 463L pallet interface to cargo floor


    – Completely federated system
    – All that is required from the host aircraft is power
    – Installation or removal in less than 2 hours
    – Completely covert when parked on the ramp
    – Two man console with crashworthy seats
    – Available with WESCAM MX-25/D, MX-20/D
    – Unobstructed 360 degree Field of Regard

    Mission System
    • Advantages versus Fixed Installation:
    • NO Group A modification to add ISR capability
    • NO Aircraft down time
    • NO Individual costly fixed turret mounts
    • NO Individual costly removable turret mounts
    • NO Individual aircraft cabling
    • NO Reduced availability for aircraft to perform its primary mission
    • Covert until deployed in flight
    • Transportable from one platform to another
