L-3 WESCAM has received an order from CHC Ireland to provide MX-15 EO/IR imaging systems for installation on S-92 SAR aircraft. Installation of the turrets will be completed by Sikorsky Aircraft and deployed to Ireland in support of the Irish Coast Guard's fleet replacement programme. The newly equipped S-92s will be utilised for SAR missions and operate from bases located near Shannon, Dublin, Waterford and Sligo, Ireland. The first system was delivered in January and remaining systems are scheduled to be delivered during 2013.
