ForeWarn helps airlines and airports manage their outdoor operations by providing the highest level of safety with the least amount of unproductive time.
Lightning has a major impact on the aviation community.
During a typical summer, ramp activities are often shut down for 30 minutes or more to avoid lightning hazards. Ground support services such as aircraft refueling, baggage handling, catering, water and lavatory service, aircraft and facility maintenance, and passengers are all affected by severe weather conditions. The ForeWarn system is the most effective lightning warning system available at airports today. Collected data are fed into a thunderstorm display and threat evaluation program at a workstation where predetermined criteria are set to trigger a master alarm, alerting users of the thunderstorm threat. ForeWarn eliminates unnecessary, random curtailing of ground operations through continuous, accurate monitoring and prediction of lightning threats.
