DUBAI AIR SHOW, UAE, November 14, 2011 – L-3 WESCAM announced today that it has
received an order from Abu Dhabi Autonomous Systems Investments Co. LLC (ADASI) for eight
MX™-10 electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) imaging systems. The turrets will be used to conduct
surveillance duties from the S-100 Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) platform. Deliveries will
begin in December 2011 and will be completed by March 2012.
“ADASI is a recognized leader in the Gulf region for this class of tactical UAS integration, and

region’s growing surveillance requirements,” said Paul Jennison, vice president of government

nominal installation and integration requirements of our sensor systems.”
