StormQuant continues to lead the way in advanced weather radar innovation. Our latest breakthrough, the BAT-3 radar, just completed field calibration at our test tower in Titusville, Florida, and is already proving to be our most capable system yet.

Hardware Designed to Deliver Better Data, Faster

The BAT-3 features a redesigned, high-sensitivity transceiver, allowing it to detect smaller weather elements at greater distances than ever before. This enhancement significantly boosts situational awareness—especially in mission-critical environments—by increasing detection range and improving data fidelity. BAT-3’s output meets the highest NASA launch specification standards for radar resolution.

“Our latest radar features a next-generation transceiver that is 20% more sensitive to reflected energy than our previous systems,” said Seth Woolley, Principal Engineer for Embedded and Backend Systems at StormQuant.  “In practical terms, that means it can detect developing weather sooner and with greater precision—providing the public with earlier awareness of hazardous conditions and the potential impacts on their communities.”

Unlike traditional radar systems that prioritize horizontal scanning, StormQuant’s proprietary radar technology is engineered for rapid sector scanning in both horizontal and vertical planes. Most radars struggle to capture Range Height Indicator (RHI) sector volumes due to the risk of hardware stress or burnout. The BAT-3, however, is built for this. Its advanced architecture removes those limitations, making it a powerful tool for detecting early signs of tornadic activity formation.

Speed and Efficiency That Keep Up With Changing Conditions

A key upgrade in the BAT-3 is a reinforced reflector which allows for drastically increased sector scanning capabilities. The radar can now complete up to four sector volume scans per minute, compared to just one scan every four minutes with other radars. This dramatic improvement to our proprietary design allows users to receive near-real-time weather intelligence, which is crucial in rapidly evolving weather scenarios. Access to StormQuant’s advanced, hyperlocal weather data can make the difference when facing critical Go/No-Go launch decisions.

Built For Reliability In The Real World

“Our mission is to deliver the world’s most advanced compact weather radar with unmatched reliability,” said Tristan Rizzi, Capt. SEAL, USN (Ret.) and President of StormQuant. “Achieving peak performance from such a sophisticated instrument requires breakthrough innovations that push beyond today’s limitations and unlock next-level capabilities.”

To ensure consistent uptime, the BAT-3 is equipped with advanced internal diagnostic sensors. These sensors continuously monitor and report the radar’s operational health, enabling remote issue detection and resolution—often before a problem occurs. This predictive maintenance capability enhances system longevity and reliability in the field.

StormQuant radars are engineered to thrive in extreme environments. BAT-3’s upgraded thermal-based heat modulation system enables it to operate in temperatures ranging from -10°F to +120°F, ensuring dependable performance whether mounted in polar conditions or tropical heat.

Paired with StormQuant’s Weather Viewer workstation, the BAT-3 Radar delivers a comprehensive platform experience that sets a new standard in the industry.
