In order to locate precipitation, calculate its speed, and even estimate weather conditions like rain, snow, hail, etc., a weather radar, also known as a weather surveillance radar (WSR), is mounted in an aircraft.
The majority of weather radars used nowadays in aircraft can gauge both the intensity of the rain and the velocity of water droplets.
Regardless of size, these weather radars are found in practically all aircraft. The main difference between a weather radar and an air traffic control system is that instead of radio waves bouncing back after being intercepted by an aircraft, meteorological conditions cause them to do so.
The amount of reflection of these radio waves depends on how heavily it is raining. On the flight deck, a display that shows heavy fall with a red signal, moderate with a yellow signal, and light with a green signal is mounted to assist the pilots in determining the amount of intensity of precipitation. These signals are not produced by clouds or water vapour.
The Global aircraft weather radar market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
The first operational multi-parameter phased array weather radar (MP-PAWR) has been created by Toshiba, and it is anticipated that it will aid in preventing and reducing natural disasters.
The MP-PAWR combines the benefits of multi-parameter and phased array weather radars, enabling earlier and more precise detection of signals of torrential rain.
The digital beam forming (DBF) real-time imaging capability of a phased array radar designed for weather monitoring allows it to concurrently broadcast and receive both horizontal and vertical waves while also observing more than ten directions in the sky at once.
