Since 2016, the U.S. Air Force has deployed hundreds of the\nmilitary qualified version, the MWS-M620, around the world. Now, similar\ntechnology is available for commercial applications and connected over cellular\nnetworks. Like all its MWS siblings, the C600 is a true all-in-one weather\nsensor with processing, solar power, communications, and meteorological\nsensors, all integrated into a simple, portable unit. The included ceilometer\nmeasures cloud height to 10,000 ft, giving users an additional critical parameter\nto support flight operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/Intellisense-edit-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15237\" width=\"264\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Intellisense-edit-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Intellisense-edit-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Intellisense-edit.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 264px) 100vw, 264px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The C600 transmits environmental measurements over cellular\nLTE-M communications to support cloud-based data logging and instant access to\n28 meteorological conditions and parameters. The integrated ceilometer enables\nhyper-local weather monitoring for aviation applications such as heliports and\nsmall, remote, or temporary airfields that do not have the power, budget, or\nspace for an Aviation AWOS system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe MWS\u2013C600 is our best commercial weather sensor yet,\u201d\nsaid Frank Willis, President and CEO of Intellisense Systems. \u201cIt features the\nworld\u2019s smallest LIDAR ceilometer and still is accurate within 1% up to 10,000\nfeet. Functionally, this has the same capabilities that have supported the\nDepartment of Defense at airfields and landing sites around the globe since\n2016.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The C600 does not need wires or external devices, enabling\nit to be set up and start transmitting in less than 60 seconds. The data it\ncollects and transmits include temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, wind\nspeed and direction, angular tilt, dust accumulation, lightning distance,\ncompass reading, precipitation amount, present weather, GPS location, and cloud\nheight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intellisense Systems, Inc., has introduced the MWS\u00ae\u2013C600, the third product in Intellisense\u2019s new Commercial Series of Micro Weather Sensors (MWS\u00ae).
