Ground operations
Make weather your ally
Accurate weather measurements lead to improved operational efficiency, both in terms of troop readiness for adverse weather conditions and in terms of the performance of complex systems.
Operations and disaster response missions often take place over complex terrain or in urban areas. Knowing the present weather conditions lowers the risk for both personnel and equipment losses. This has created a need for new, often mobile, approaches to measuring weather phenomena.
With appropriate infrastructure in place, numerical weather prediction (NWP) provides valid general information over an operational area. However, high-precision accuracy can only be achieved by combining NWP with in-situ meteorological information provided by an operational MET unit equipped with vehicle-integrated measurement systems, essential to maintain operational capability in all conditions.
