Lightning is the transfer of significant charge between two charged objects.
Inc. GAI's history begins with the research and work of three prominent scientists at the University of Arizona during the 1970's. A solution for the BLM's detection problem was introduced in 1976. This first application of lightning location technology led to many industries discovering the value and benefits of lightning data. Through the years, GAI has developed sensors, central processors, and analytical software for applications in such industries as electric power utilities, meteorology, aviation, mining, golf and recreation and insurance. These and other industries use lightning data to increase operational safety and efficiency.
