OVERVIEW

AIMMS-30 is Aventech's third generation wind measurement system which is capable of providing accurate GPS, inertial rates, air-data and meteorological data including:

• Barometric (Static) Pressure
• Air Speed (including TAS)
• Angle-of-Attack (AOA)
• Angle-of-Sideslip (AOS)
• Temperature (OAT)
• Relative Humidity

AIMMS-30 can be used to:

• Optimize Spray Diposition
• Minimize Off-Target Drift
• Document Meteorological Conditions to prove Due Diligence during Application

AIMMS-30 is smaller, lighter, and lower cost than previous second generation AIMMS-20 system. The system includes Air Data Probe (ADP), Integrated Inertial/GPS Carrier Phase/Central Processing Module (CPM), and an optional Touch Screen Display Module running Aventech MetTrack Firmware. Data available in real-time via serial broadcast, which can be utilized by GPS navigation systems for use in real-time spray drift models, or stored to an integrated USB flash memory drive for post-flight analysis.

Basic navigation measurements include:

• GPS Position (Latitude, Longitude and Altitude)
• GPS Velocity
• Three-axis Accelerations (X, Y, Z)
• Three-axis Rates (Roll, Pitch, Yaw)

AIMMS-30 is compatible with most major GPS navigation systems including:

• ADAPCO Wingman GX
• AGNAV Guia
• TracMap
• AgJunction SATLOC G4

Benefits

• Provides real-time measurement of the 3-dimensional wind vector with excellent frequency response
• Provides temperature, humidity and pressure data
• Includes output of high-precision aircraft attitude data (bank angle, pitch angle and true heading)
• Full support for aerodynamic calibration to minimize the time and effort necessary to analyze flight-calibration data
• Unrivalled price-performance ratio for airborne meteorological observation
• Can be integrated with a host data system, or operated independently using internal FLASH memory to store information for post-flight transfer
• Rugged construction with hermetically sealed sensor electronics for in-service reliability

Applications

• Aerial application of pesticides
• Wind data critical for monitoring off-target drift potential
• Spray optimization (flight line offsets taking wind drift into account to improve spray targeting)
• Weather observation in support of wild land fire operations
• Fire weather forecasting
• Prescribed burn management
• Fire aviation support
• Airborne observation
• Wind data for analysis of LIDAR power line survey data
• Environmental parameters to aid analysis of remote sensing data
• Pollution transport studies
