What Is StormQuant?
StormQuant is a U.S.-based advanced weather intelligence company delivering next-generation radar systems and immersive 3D atmospheric visualization software. We enable faster, more confident decision-making for mission-critical operations—including emergency management, aviation, space launch, defense, and government—by providing high-resolution, rapid-refresh weather awareness where legacy systems fall short.
More than just another radar, StormQuant’s proprietary platform is purpose-built for environments where minutes matter, infrastructure is limited, and weather risk must be understood in three dimensions.
Radar Technology & Differentiation
StormQuant radars are compact, mobile, and engineered specifically for rapid operational decision support. Unlike legacy weather radar networks such as NEXRAD, which are designed for broad regional coverage and slower update cycles, StormQuant systems focus on delivering actionable, localized insight in real time.
Key differentiators include:
- Dual-mode scanning (PPI + RHI) for both horizontal coverage and vertical atmospheric profiling
- Rapid refresh rates measured in seconds, not minutes, enabling near–real-time awareness
- Sector-focused and adaptive scanning that concentrates performance where risk is evolving
- Flexible deployment options including fixed-site, mobile, and maritime configurations
Range Height Indicator (RHI) scanning delivers real-time vertical cross-sections of the atmosphere, revealing the internal structure, depth, and evolution of storms as they develop. Instead of only seeing weather spread across the horizon, operators gain a clear view of what is happening through the storm column.
This vertical insight is critical for detecting high-impact hazards such as:
- Microbursts and downbursts that pose severe risks to aviation and ground operations
- Low-level wind shear that can endanger aircraft during takeoff and landing
- Rapid updraft intensification signaling strengthening convection
- Early tornadic signatures forming within developing storm structures
Most legacy radar networks emphasize horizontal coverage and lack persistent, high-resolution vertical scanning. This creates dangerous blind spots during fast-evolving weather events—exactly when decision-makers need the clearest picture.
RHI closes the vertical gap, turning hidden storm dynamics into actionable intelligence.
Sector scanning allows operators to concentrate radar performance on the areas that matter most. StormQuant’s architecture enables users to dynamically adjust sector width, elevation angles, and scan frequency in real time—delivering targeted weather intelligence with refresh rates measured in tens of seconds.
Rather than wasting scan time on clear skies, StormQuant focuses sensing power where risk is actively evolving.
This capability is especially valuable for:
- Space launch operations, where precise wind and storm structure updates directly impact go/no-go decisions
- Terminal aviation environments, supporting safer approaches and departures in rapidly changing conditions
- Severe storm monitoring, enabling faster detection of intensifying cells and hazardous outflows
- Tactical or localized weather threats, where decision-makers need hyper-focused, high-tempo updates
Sector scanning turns radar from a surveillance tool into a precision decision-support sensor.
StormQuant’s patented radar meshing technology fuses data from our high-resolution X-band radars with external sources such as NEXRAD, TDWR, and other authorized sensors. The result is a seamless, high-fidelity 3D weather picture that is more complete, more resilient, and more operationally reliable than any single radar alone.
By intelligently blending multiple perspectives, meshing delivers:
- Gap-free coverage by mitigating terrain, range, and line-of-sight limitations
- Improved wind field and storm structure estimation through multi-angle observation
- Higher confidence in time-critical decisions with cross-validated atmospheric data
- True multi-band integration, combining the strengths of X-band, C-band, and S-band systems
Instead of operating as isolated sensors, meshed radars function as a cooperative sensing network—one that is more fault-tolerant, more adaptive, and better aligned with mission-critical operations.
Radar meshing transforms distributed sensors into a unified atmospheric intelligence system.
Software & Analytics
The StormQuant Weather Viewer is a patented, operator-centric software platform designed to deliver real-time 2D and 3D atmospheric awareness in a single, unified environment. It transforms complex radar and sensor data into intuitive visualizations that support faster, more confident decisions.
Key capabilities include:
- Interactive vertical and horizontal storm cross-sections for full 3D situational awareness
- Multi-radar overlays and meshed views, combining local and external sensors seamlessly
- Custom alerting and operator-defined thresholds aligned to mission risk
- Historical data replay and case analysis for training, validation, and after-action review
- Mission-specific visualization tools tailored to aviation, launch, defense, and emergency operations
All functionality is delivered through a single, intuitive interface—reducing cognitive load while increasing operational clarity when it matters most.
True Wind Velocity is the accurate measurement of wind speed and direction at all altitudes within a storm environment. StormQuant derives this by triangulating radial velocity data from multiple radars, resolving the full wind vector rather than a single line-of-sight component. This produces precise, in-storm wind estimates that cannot be achieved with single-radar systems alone.
Understanding true wind behavior aloft is essential for anticipating risk, not just observing weather.
True Wind Velocity is critical for:
- Space launch go/no-go decisions, where upper-level winds directly affect vehicle loads and trajectory safety
- Aviation operations, improving detection of hazardous wind shear and turbulence
- Uncrewed and autonomous systems, enabling safer navigation in complex atmospheric conditions
- Emergency response planning, supporting more accurate modeling of fire behavior, plume dispersion, and storm impacts
True Wind Velocity turns raw radar data into actionable wind intelligence—exactly where traditional systems fall short.
Yes. StormQuant supports hyperlocal, user-defined alerting tailored to specific missions and risk tolerances. Operators can configure alerts based on parameters such as:
- Rainfall rate
- Wind speed
- Storm intensity, depth, or vertical structure
- Custom thresholds aligned to operational limits or go/no-go criteria
Alerts can be delivered via text message, email, or integrated directly into existing operational systems, ensuring critical information reaches the right people at the right time.
StormQuant alerts are designed to support decisions—not overwhelm operators with noise.
AI, Deployment & Resilience
StormQuant is working to apply AI and machine learning to enhance radar tasking, data interpretation, and operator decision support. The focus is on augmenting physics-based radar systems, not replacing them.
Key applications include:
- Adaptive scanning optimization, where ML models recommend scan strategies (sector width, elevation density, revisit rate) based on evolving storm behavior and mission priorities
- Real-time anomaly and feature detection, flagging rapidly intensifying updrafts, abnormal velocity signatures, or structural changes that warrant operator attention
- Automated alert refinement, reducing false alarms by contextualizing thresholds with storm structure, history, and multi-sensor confirmation
- Intelligent radar meshing and data fusion, using ML-assisted weighting to reconcile data from X-, C-, and S-band radars and external sensors
Models will be trained and periodically updated using curated historical datasets and validated case studies, with human oversight and deterministic safeguards. This ensures improvements in accuracy and responsiveness while maintaining transparency, reliability, and operational trust.
StormQuant’s AI doesn’t replace the radar—it makes the radar smarter, faster, and more relevant to the decision at hand.
