the MX turret. This course allows for hands-on operation of the system while installed on the aircraft with the complete customer-configured sensor suite. This course is only available at the customer location and is available upon request. Duration: 5 Days Operation and Organizational Maintenance: This course is intended for system operators and maintainers responsible for operating and maintaining MX turrets at the organizational level. This course is designed to provide a complete training experience, combining classroom lectures and practical exercises. This format ensures that operators possess the knowledge and skill to successfully operate and maintain turrets over a wide array of missions and environments. The course is based around several mission scenarios that will teach the operator how to plan the mission. In planning missions, the operator will determine the appropriate system setup, sensor selection, steering mode, and mission logistics. Scenarios are also used to simulate real-life maintenance and troubleshooting situations. “As required” maintenance tasks at the Organizational level include: window cleaning, desiccant removal and replacement, and turret purging. Troubleshooting scenarios consists of recognizing system failures, diagnosing faults, removal and the replacement of system Line Replaceable Units (LRU). This course is customized to the customer’s particular system and its configuration. Courses are available upon request. Duration: 3 Days Operation and Organizational Maintenance Open Enrolment: This course combines inclass lectures with practical hands-on exercises with one of our MX-Series systems. This costeffective course allows customers to purchase a single seat in the course, rather than having a class with numerous people from your organization. Ideal for customers with small fleets or new employees, this course has the same content as our customer-specific O&OM courses, yet takes a generic approach to MXSeries systems. Questions regarding customer specific configurations are welcomed by the instructor during the class. These courses are scheduled throughout the year at various locations, including Wescam Burlington and Wescam Service Centers. Duration: 3 Days eLearning Operation and Organizational Maintenance: This course is a self-paced interactive computer-based training course, designed for operators and maintainers to learn the operation and organizational maintenance of an MX turret from the convenience of their computer.
