The spread or evaporation of combat toxics, the trajectories of medium and large munitions can be affected by wind (crosswind and crosswind), humidity, atmospheric pressure and temperature. IRDAM has developed a highly accurate and robust sensor with the aim of providing military personnel with critical meteorological data, regardless of the location of military personnel.
IRDAM has developed a special MAWS (Military Automatic Automatic Weather Sensor) series to meet the rigid requirements of the military. The IRDAM MAWS 6056 series collects and measures wind (crosswind and crosswind), humidity, atmospheric pressure and temperature. Knowing these values, armored divisions can increase firing accuracy, and NBC/CBRN alarms can be activated quickly.
The IRDAM MAWS series includes six different models. Choosing the right model depends on your specific needs, and at IRDAM we are committed to assisting you in your decision to ensure that you choose the model that provides your military personnel with weather data that affects their ability to perform their duties quickly, accurately and safely.
The key decision is whether your staff need a MAWS with an integrated compass, GPS-capable and relative humidity capability.
The MAWS6056 weather station is fully automatic and measures constantly:
- Wind speed
- Wind direction
- Air temperature
- Atmospheric pressure
- Relative humidity (optional)
Additional features include:
- Electronic compass that indicates wind direction and the direction of the vehicle relative to geographic north.
- GPS receiver that combines geographic coordinates of the measurement location with meteorological data.
- TEMPEX external digital temperature sensor (ground, ammunition storage room, etc.).
The highly accurate weather sensor responds quickly to wind variations and measures even the slightest breath.
The measurements provided by the sensor are transmitted through a single digital frame over the RS-422 / RS-485 serial link.
IRDAM sensors are fully certified to military standards and have received the “Swiss Made” label.
They require no special maintenance, but should be checked and calibrated regularly like any high-precision measuring instrument.
