200WX-IPX7 WeatherStation® Instrument
Part Number200WX-IPX7

Unmanned Surface Vehicle Monitoring
Reliable monitoring systems such as buoys, and USVs enable operational decision-making based on real-time, site-specific data rather than intuition. The highly changeable conditions at sea make offshore operations particularly challenging. Airmar has worked with many autonomous vehicle and buoy OEMs to develop the WeatherStation model 200WX-IPX7 that meets the operational challenges of this extremely harsh environment.

- Ultrasonic measurement of apparent and dynamic true wind speed and direction
