Taking weather radar to the next level

At the foundation of the system's new capabilities is Directed Sequential Hazard Assessment, which offers a more comprehensive way of presenting meteorological information. This patented technology allows MultiScan™ to detect weather hazards and then, using a combination of horizontal and vertical scans, performs a threat analysis tailored to the phase of flight. It allows the system to change radar parameters such as frequency, wave length and pulse width to thoroughly evaluate the specific weather and determine its threat potential, transforming MultiScan into a threat detector instead of being a rain gauge. The end result is the ability to provide flight crews information on storm height, growth rate and turbulent potential - all  referenced to the aircraft flight plan.
