Security and defence applications
- Accurate trajectory prediction - Meteorological data is critical for the accurate prediction of ballistic trajectories within the atmosphere. A projectile moving through the air is affected by a number of forces including wind, temperature, barometric pressure, and humidity, so accurate monitoring of these parameters is essential.
- UAV launch sites - Accurate observation and measurement of surface wind at UAV sites is essential to ensure correct and successful launch and landings.
