Ultrasonic wind sensors and weather stations for UAV launch sites
Successful launch and landing
Accurate observation and measurement of surface wind at UAV sites is essential to ensure correct and successful launch and landings.
Increased safety
Because the size and design of UAV’s varies greatly, knowing the surface wind conditions is critical to ensure control of the UAV is maintained. Any deviation from the planned flight path can pose a safety risk to ground crew and could result in serious damage to or total loss of the aircraft.
Recommended weather instruments for UAV launch sites
Gill WindSonic is a low-cost 2-axis ultrasonic anemometer, providing wind speed and direction data in a robust housing. This anemometer has no moving parts, which removes a common source of mechanical wear in a wide range of applications.
MetConnect is a compact multi-sensor professional weather station providing wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, temperature, humidity and dew point measurements, with capability to connect auxiliary sensors and combine all inputs into one serial data output.
