StormQuant’s Latest BAT-3 Radar Boosts Marion County Readiness
StormQuant has completed the successful deployment of its latest BAT-3 weather radar system at the Marion County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in Ocala, Florida. The removal of the existing radar and installation of the new unit on the tower was completed in under 2 hours.
“Our revolutionary radar design makes unit replacement a quick and easy task,” said Tristan Rizzi, Capt. SEAL, USN (Ret.), and President of StormQuant. “This sort of versatility in the field is unmatched and opens up a world of possibilities. No others can come close to what StormQuant can deliver.”
Made in the USA, these highly complex radar units—comprising nearly 27,000 components—are fully assembled and tested by StormQuant’s team in Titusville, Florida.
Hardware Designed To Deliver Better Data—Faster
At StormQuant, we recognize that change is constant. Our Radar & Software as a Service (RSaaS) model reflects that philosophy. With the installation of our latest BAT series radar in Marion County, we continue to demonstrate our commitment to innovation and continuous improvement.
“We don’t believe in Status Quo – technology is not static, nor is software. We embrace this proposition. Our software and hardware capabilities WILL be different tomorrow than they are today.” – Edward Rossi CEO
The BAT-3 radar includes our most advanced high-sensitivity transceiver, capable of detecting smaller weather elements at greater distances than ever before. This results in significantly improved situational awareness, particularly in mission-critical environments, thanks to extended detection range and enhanced data fidelity. Going way beyond a typical weather radar, BAT-3 meets NASA launch-level standards for radar resolution.
StormQuant’s proprietary radar design is not just different—it’s a game-changer. Unlike conventional systems that focus primarily on horizontal scanning, StormQuant’s radar technology excels at rapid sector scanning across both horizontal and vertical planes. While most radars struggle with Range Height Indicator (RHI) scanning and can be damaged due to hardware stress, the BAT-3 is built for it. Its advanced architecture eliminates those limitations, making it a powerful tool for specialized tasks, such as detecting early signs of tornadic activity.
Emergency Preparedness As A Priority
Florida continues to lead the nation in emergency preparedness, with substantial investments in initiatives designed to strengthen community resilience. In collaboration with StormQuant, the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) has brought this cutting-edge weather monitoring system to Marion County—and other counties across the state.
Paired with StormQuant’s proprietary weather viewer workstation, the Marion County EOC has access to the most advanced weather detection and analysis tools available. In a weather emergency, this level of precision and speed can mean the difference between life and death.
