WINDEX-5000

The Low-Level Wind Shear Alerting System developed by our experts in cooperation with the Laser Systems company is designed to ensure the safety of flights during take-off and landing operations.

EFFICIENTLY SOLVES THE FOLLOWING TASKS:

Promptly and remotely determining and displaying information about the vector direction and the magnitude of an airflow at specified altitudes;
Measuring turbulence and determining the horizontal wind shear and vertical gusts;
Identifying low-level wind shear and turbulence near airfields, heliports and other landing sites for aircraft;

Promptly providing information about low-level wind shear and turbulence to all air traffic participants, including aircraft crews;
Conducting 3D-mapping of wind fields;
Working in a profiler mode in the intended direction;
Detecting wake vortices;
Determining cloud level.
