ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE

The speed and mobility of airborne platforms make them ideal for performing atmospheric measurements. The majority of airborne science missions require accurate measurement of standard environmental parameters including temperature, humidity, three-dimensional winds and turbulence.

The AIMMS (Aircraft Integrated Meteorological Measurement System) product line provides high-accuracy measurement of key meteorological data (temperature, humidity, three-dimensional winds and turbulence). The AIMMS provides a cost-effective, stand-alone atmospheric measurement solution that can be employed to retrofit a wide spectrum of aircraft types.

See how the AIMMS can benefit your next scientific deployment.
