Vaisala TacMet® is an extremely compact weather station that can be quickly deployed in the tactical field to meet the needs of different military operations. Offering a wide range of sensors, the portable system can be deployed easily and quickly. Furthermore, it is a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) product incorporating effective data quality assurance systems.
The MAWS201M is available in two versions: The basic system – which measures the main meteorological parameters and the extended system – which provides aviation support including cloud height, visibility and present weather.
The system can be transported by land, air or sea. The boxes in which it is packed have been tested under the harshest conditions.
Users with minimal prior training can assemble and commission it in less than 30 minutes in all terrain conditions.
Once installed, the extended system starts transmitting data, providing all the necessary parameters for aviation operations: wind, pressure, temperature, humidity, cloud height,present weather, visibility, presence and location of atmospheric thunderstorms.
Current models of Vaisala sensors are compatible with versions of TacMet® systems purchased years ago, and can extend their operational life through an upgrade program with the manufacturer.
