Weather node · SKYBYTE Made in India

How’s the weather around?

A vehicle-mounted weather station. It measures the air where the shell will fly, not at a station kilometres away. Reports true wind, even on the move.

Weather node working prototype with its ultrasonic sensor head and live data display
What it does

Built for the vehicles
units already have.

Measures five things

Wind speed and direction, air temperature, humidity and pressure, all on the vehicle.

No moving parts

Ultrasonic wind sensing keeps working in sand, snow and ice.

Never drops out

Sends data over two links at once, so one damaged cable does not stop it.

Part of OneView

One sense of many.

Every node reports into OneView, so its readings reach every platform and the commander, not just one screen.
