Developed and produced by Lockheed Martin, WindTracer® lidar is a remarkable technology used for studies of atmospheric conditions. WindTracer is used for airport applications, wind resource assessment and meteorological research.
WindTracer systems have been used worldwide for a decade to detect hazardous winds and aircraft wakes, providing improved flight safety for more than one million flights. Since the initial deployment in 2002, WindTracer successfully operates at Hong Kong, Tokyo, Osaka, London, New York, San Francisco and Las Vegas airports, and continues to be the lidar sensor of choice for numerous airport weather upgrade programs.
