Aviation Weather & Safety Systems
Monitoring of aviation weather was considered as a very important issue since this information yield at the end an up-to-date weather reports and forecasts to the pilots and other aviation professional. These reports and forecasts enable pilots to make informed decisions regarding weather and flight safety before and during a flight.
The AWOS (Automatic Weather Observing Systems) and other surface observation systems supplied by our company play are a vital role in monitoring aviation weather conditions. They are ruggedness and low power use so they can function for long periods in harsh environments including the small and international airports and military airfields. They can measure, record, and communicate weather information useful for making flight-related decisions. |
The systems and solutions are:
· IRVR (Instrumental Runway Visual Range) which provides an automated assessment of the distance over which the pilot of an aircraft can see the runway surface marking or the runway lights. The system is scalable allowing for smaller airports with one optical sensor up to largest airports with three sensors. These locations equate to touch-down, mid-point and end-stop of the runway. The sensors operate on RS-485 network terminating at the IRVR controller in the equipment room. For more details, see the link:

· METCOM Aviation Software Metcom from Campbell Scientific is a complete aviation meteorological monitoring and reporting system forming part of an AWOS solution. Deployable as a single instance for small airfields right up to a dual server system with fully automatic failover for larger airports, Metcom is a comprehensive, fully integrated solution built to meet ICAO and CAP standards. Through an integrated and configurable terminal Metcom provides real-time information on weather conditions enabling airport personnel to make informed critical decisions.

· CS135 Lidar Ceilometer for measuring cloud base, height and levels The CS135 LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) Ceilometer measures cloud height and vertical visibility for meteorological and aviation applications. The CS135 gives cloud information such as cloud base (cloud height) and sky condition (cloud coverage), to learn more, see the link:
