Radiometrics, through its acquisition of DeTect Meteorological Systems Group, was chosen to replace the outdated radar wind profiler (RWP) system at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. For years, NASA had relied on weather balloons to monitor upper-level winds, with their aging RWP serving as a backup. However, NASA’s heavy-lift rocket programs needed more precise and current wind data, driving the demand for a modern, reliable RWP system. The new system is designed to last for the next 20 years. Radiometrics was tasked with upgrading NASA’s old radar infrastructure. During the process, they recognized the need for a specialized antenna manufacturer that…
