Digital Aviation Weather Camera

Alerting and preparing pilots for adverse weather conditions

Challenges/Solution

Given the wide range of weather conditions throughout each year, airport visibility can often be a major challenge. Conditions like rain, hail, snow, and sandstorms can often impact a pilot's decision to fly. Automated Weather Observation Systems (AWOS) can provide accurate weather data, however they lack the context that can be provided by intelligent video.
