Coastal has successfully installed over 1200 AWOS (Automated Weather Observing Systems) at military and commercial airports worldwide.

Coastal’s AWOS solutions are rugged and built to meet our customers’ specifications. Installations range from small airfields and heliports to CAT I-IV airports. Military mission uptime is near 100%.

With Coastal’s web-based Aviation INTERCEPT® software, no client licenses are required for multiple users. Data reporting is available in METAR, SPECI, and other formats.

Remote maintenance support is standard. Communication options include cable, fiber optic, Ethernet, radio, and satellite. AC and/or solar powered.

Customers include: US Air Force (115+ installations), NAV CANADA, Peruvian Air Force, Mexican Air Force, Colombian Army, NATO, Taiwan Air Force, French Armed Forces, US Navy, US Army, Indonesian Air Force, Iraqi Military, Special Forces in Egypt, Afghanistan Air Force, Falklands

Defense, US AFRICOM.

Coastal’s portable/tactical weather stations are designed specifically to meet the demands of tactical or rapid deployment use, and are particularly suited for remote locations with harsh environmental conditions.

These systems are built with Coastal’s rugged WEATHERPAK® technology and professional grade meteorological sensors. Coastal’s web-based Aviation INTERCEPT® software is simple and easy to use on a laptop. Data can also be sent remotely by cable (RS232/RS485), spread spectrum radio, GSM/GPRS modem, or satellite radio.

Coastal’s portable/tactical system is packed in durable, waterproof cases and can be assembled in minutes. The systems are capable of running on solar or

temporary power and are ICAO/WMO/FMH-1 compliant.

Customers include: US Air Force, US Army, US Navy, US Marines, Taiwan Navy, Swedish Military Forces, Colombian Army, Indonesian Air

Force, US Africa Command, Israeli Ministry of Defense, NATO, Polish Air Force, Army of Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan Army, Spanish Army, Kazakhstan Air Force, Singapore Civil Defense, Chilean Air Force.

Co-developed with the US Navy, Coastal’s WEATHERPAK® weather stations provide the ruggedness and reliability needed for operations in a harsh marine environment.

WEATHERPAK® contains all sensors required for a complete weather station. It is constructed of a superior non-corrosive material and double o-ring sealed. The station has no exposed cables or connectors.

Using an integrated GPS and compass, WEATHERPAK® calculates both True and

Relative winds. Weather data is transmitted to an onboard display and/or integrated to the ship’s network. Communication protocols include: NMEA 0183, RS232, RS485, and more.

Customers include: US Navy, US Coast Guard, Israeli Navy, Greek Navy, Ecuadorian Navy, Armada de Mexico, Finnish Coast Guard, NATO, Chilean Navy,

Vietnamese Navy, Peruvian Navy.

Coastal’s WEATHERPAK® MTR weather stations provide on-site, real-time weather data for chemical, biological and radiological response.

WEATHERPAK® is impervious to airborne chemicals and can be set up in less than 60 seconds, without tools, by one person wearing full protective gear. The no-moving-parts wind sensor is accurate at very low wind speeds and requires no calibration.

WEATHERPAK® automatically updates ALOHA® and most other chemical dispersion model software. Data is transmitted up to five miles line-of-sight by way of an internal UHF or Spread Spectrum radio.

Customers include: USAF Fire & Emergency Management, USCG Pacific, USMC Fire & Rescue, US Navy Fire &

Emergency Management, US Army Fire & Rescue, DOD Fire Training Academy, Singapore Civil Defense, Taiwan Civil Defense, and the Spanish Army.

Military experience and expertiseCoastal’s team of engineers and project managers have decades of experience building and installing weather stations for militaries worldwide. Our systems have been delivered to military customers on every continent, including the US Navy’s station at the South Pole. Our projects range from single systems to large, multi-year contracts.

Proven and field-tested technologyCoastal’s weather stations are built for critical field operations in the most demanding and remote environments. Our systems are constructed of the toughest materials, and they meet MIL-STD-461E for electronic hardness and MIL-STD-810F for severe environmental conditions. In addition to mission critical performance, our systems have built-in diagnostics and are simple to operate and maintain. Globally, our military aviation weather stations have near 100% operability, even 10-15 years after installation.

Customer-driven, turn-key solutionsAs a leading systems integrator, we source the most advanced meteorological sensors available. The modular design of our systems enables us to build a system to fit any size application. We are able to optimize our systems to meet our customers’ exact technical requirements and budgets. We also provide system design consultation, software development and configuration, testing, and installation services, for a complete end-to-end solution.

Best Value Weather stations from Coastal provide a combination of ruggedness, reliability and flexibility that military customers expect. Our data processing technology enables meteorological sensors to be added, upgraded, or replaced over time. This means that customers will spend less money on maintenance, sensor replacement, and upgrades during the life of the system.
