Key Take-Aways: The scale of microweather is known as 1 km x 1 km. Microweather requires extensive computing power and more detailed granular observations to produce reliable information. Ground-based sensors allow real-time verification of the forecast data and enhance the accuracy of the modeled forecast over time. In short, the sensors are the glue that…

Hampton Mayor, Donnie Tuck: “Through its relationship with NASA LaRC (Langley Research Center), Hampton has been in the forefront of innovation, and is a national hub for unmanned systems. We are proud to partner with TruWeather as they develop and hone cutting-edge weather technology.”
Written by Brian Bell, VP Product and Revenue Even in a world where we may feel overwhelmed by the overabundance of data, there remain critical data gaps. Those gaps are opportunities to expand human knowledge, increase economic activity, and improve living standards. Let’s first recognize that data don’t drive these benefits; people do. Like oil,…

Commercial and military drone operators unnecessarily cancel or delay an estimated 30 percent of all drone flights. Grand Sky is looking to change that with the nation’s first state-wide micro-weather services and wind hazard predictions, supported by TruWeather and Swiss-based partner, Meteomatics. We are excited for the launch of North Dakota’s Grand Sky elevated micro…

Under this alliance, Iris will integrate TruWeather’s cost-effective weather sensors into Iris Automation’s Casia G ground-based surveillance system (GBSS). This meshed network will provide real-time integrated communications, collision avoidance and micro-weather data to operators.
The current weather tools and weather training for the UAS industry are woefully inadequate. That’s the assessment of Don Berchoff, a former U.S. Air Force meteorologist and the CEO of TruWeather.
