Defense meteorological applications

Vaisala meteorological systems are in use every day to make weather observations for defence forces' applications. Our rugged transportable measurement systems can be set up in a matter of minutes to provide accurate weather data at site.

Military aviation and UAS support

Aircraft, helicopter and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) operations require timely and accurate weather information for flight prepartions, take-offs and landings.

Ballistic weather

Atmospheric conditions along the trajectory of a projectile directly affect accuracy. Availability of proper meteorological data is one of the prerequisites for accurate predicted fire.

Naval weather

Accurate atmospheric information is critical for navigational purposes and as input into the onboard systems.

Precision airdrops

Precise high altitude air drops require wind and air density profile from the flight altitude to the surface.

Situational awareness

Weather is one of the key elements in the operations planning. In order to provide short term forecasts, and now casting, local observations are required.

Test ranges and space centers

Continuously updated weather data from surface to high altitudes and warnings of possible hazardous weather conditions are essential in ensuring successful and safe launches.
