The Sector Scan RHI Advantage:

  • Early Hazard Detection: Identifies microbursts, downbursts, and low-level wind shear that pose severe risks to aviation and ground operations. These threats are often invisible to horizontal-only radar systems.

  • Vertical Storm Intelligence: Provides real-time vertical cross-sections revealing storm depth, updraft intensification, and early tornadic signatures forming within developing structures.

  • Precision Sector Targeting: Concentrates radar performance on high-risk areas with user-controlled sector width, elevation angles, and scan frequency. Delivers targeted updates in tens of seconds rather than minutes.

  • Rapid High-Resolution Data: Updates every 18 seconds versus 4-8+ minutes with legacy systems, providing near real-time situational awareness during critical launch and recovery windows.

  • Faster Data Validation: Confirms or challenges slower C-band and NEXRAD returns in seconds rather than minutes, enabling higher-confidence decision making when it matters most.

  • Mission-Critical Decision Support: Enables faster, more informed go/no-go decisions for space launch operations, terminal aviation environments, and severe storm monitoring during rapidly evolving conditions. Improves detection probability and expands margins to reduce delays and weather scrubs.

  • Operational Efficiency: Minimizes Launch Weather Officer (LWO) data overload and streamlines manpower allocation with automation tools that assist forecaster evaluations.

RHI For Airport Use

StormQuant’s RHI technology transforms in-flight weather awareness by providing pilots with a vertical, forward-looking view of weather structures along the flight path directly in the aircraft cockpit.

With RHI data refreshing approximately every 18 seconds, compared to the 4+ minute update cycles pilots typically rely on today, flight crews gain critical advantages during approach and landing:

  • Faster Threat Detection: Identify hazardous wind shear, microbursts, and convective movement earlier than standard weather products allow.
  • Improved Approach Safety: Better anticipate rapidly changing conditions on final approach, supporting more informed decisions around approach stability, go-arounds, or runway selection.
  • Reduced Blind Spots: Bridge the critical timing and visibility gap during high-workload phases of flight with near-real-time vertical weather intelligence.

In fast-changing weather environments, those extra minutes of awareness can mean the difference between a safe landing and a dangerous approach.

StormQuant’s revolutionary weather platform allows users to dominate the world of weather.
