X-band for airport weather observation
Infographic: Filling the weather knowledge gap at airports
An airport weather system is not an individual weather instrument, or even a set of instruments. It is a system to support weather-critical decision making. The components in a successful weather observation system form an integrated, end-to-end system that works seamlessly with its subcomponents such as a LLWAS system, AWOS system, low-level windshear alert system and remote sensing systems, such as lidars and weather radars.

Product: X-band Weather Radar
Seize outstanding performance, data quality, and reliability
The new X-band Weather Radar provides highly accurate measurements for a limited area, filling in a gap in a national radar network or delivering precise information for a specific area. Severe weather in mountainous areas and gaps under sparse weather radar networks will now be visible when X-band radars are added to the weather radar networks.
