Applications
For launch facilities and spaceports that need to stay on schedule and minimize delays from marginal weather conditions, HALAS technology delivers near real-time atmospheric data to support go/no-go decisions.
With HALAS, you can maintain schedules, increase launch frequency and make confident decisions knowing you have the latest weather information at your fingertips.
With near-real-time, location-specific atmospheric data beyond 60,000 feet, developers and designers can optimize each test by understanding the impact of atmospheric conditions on the tested device.
This leads to increased test cadence, lower costs, improved results and faster development cycles.
For meteorologists, emergency planners and weather solutions providers seeking improved accuracy, HALAS provides near real-time atmospheric data through a connected network of devices.
HALAS enables observations at a cadence tailored to your needs, providing more measurements of the atmospheric envelope at the times, locations and frequency you require.
This results in better planning and more accurate forecasting.
For mission planners requiring accurate atmospheric data for go/no-go decisions and last-minute adjustments, HALAS delivers near real-time high-altitude atmospheric readings exactly when and where they’re needed.
HALAS ensures the precision necessary for mission success, especially during the critical phase of reentry.
When a precise landing at a specific location is critical, and every minute counts, HALAS provides near real-time atmospheric awareness for your landing site.
With HALAS, your operations teams and decision-makers gain the reliable, location-specific data they need when timing is critical.
High-altitude, slow-moving airships, balloons, and fixed-wing aircraft are highly sensitive to winds and atmospheric conditions at all levels.
With HALAS data, you gain up-to-the-minute atmospheric insights, enabling real-time course planning and adjustments.
Resources
Gathering highly-accurate and near real-time atmospheric observations at a desired time and location can be difficult, time-consuming and expensive for commercial, defense, and space organizations that need up-to-the-minute information. HALAS Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) delivers the information you need, without the capital expenditure and long-term asset management, delivered in minutes.
