L3Harris Technologies opened its new WESCAM Authorized Service Center (WASC) in Bologna, Italy, to provide product support and services to the Italian end-users and customers in the surrounding regions. The WASC builds upon L3Harris’ investments into its growing customer-care ecosystem and its commitment to provide localized, self-reliant defense capabilities among its customers. It will also generate increased economic return to the region, employing and training local teams of EO/IR system experts and technicians.
Part of a new 5,500-square meter L3Harris manufacturing and support center, the regional WASC serves to improve end-user operational availability and provide advanced repair capability for its WESCAM MX™-Series electro-optical/infrared sensor systems. To accelerate mission-readiness, the new WASC is equipped with state-of-the-art WESCAM MX-Series service equipment, testing capabilities and technician support systems.
