Robust, long-lasting components greatly reduce total cost of ownership, while the advanced scanning head design minimizes maintenance and reduces disruptions. An industry leading warranty and maintenance package are included as standard plus a simple, hassle free, annually renewable service contract.

Windshear and more

Get a clear picture of the entire wind field and increase your situational awareness with new 3D volume scans, and use segment scans to scan along a glide path for safer landings. Improved laser design captures the wind field with improved data quality. One system lets you reliably capture wind vortices and windshear events thanks to increased resolution configurability.

Go to the extremes

Expand to extreme environments with temperatures ranging from -40° C up to +55° C and operate in areas requiring water and dust resistance. Stay ahead of humidity and frost through an effective heated lens.
