ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, IDEX 2017, February 19, 2017 – L3 WESCAM announced
today that it will sign a long-term Service C

which is 100 percent owned by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF). DST’s
objectives are to establish, develop, produce, and transfer defense and security technologies in
cooperation with strategic international and national partners. This further enhances capabilities

“The addition of DST as an authorized service center is a testament to our commitment to
further expanding our in-service support infrastructure on a global scale,” said Mike Greenley,
President of L3 WESCAM. “Together with DST’s in-country experience and dedication to
customer satisfaction, we will provide regional
customers with an unmatched support capability
across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”
“The Service Center Agreement between L3 W
ESCAM and DST is an important first step
toward a growing collaboration that includes future co-production and systems development
activities. It also showcases continuing efforts
by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia toward meeting
the national 2030 vision for greater industrial diversification,” said Dr. Hamad Al-Yousefi, CEO of
DST. “We look forward to maintaining L3 WESCAM’s portfolio of products while providing
exceptional service to its regional customers.”
The DST WASC will provide customers in S
audi Arabia and the region with an advanced in-
country maintenance and repair capability for MX
™
-Series electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR)
systems designed for airborne, land and maritime domains. The DST facility will be equipped
with a thermal chamber, laser test room, collimator for optical alignment, and all other
equipment necessary to ensure MX repairs can be performed in-country.
As its installed base of EO/IR systems and int
egrated solutions continues to grow, L3 WESCAM
is expanding its global service footprint. To date, L3 WESCAM has opened 14 WASCs
worldwide, with additional sites planned for the near future.
