Weather for Drones

Mitigate wind hazards with wind models created on the basis of lidar data to plan the safest and most cost-efficient drone operations.

Wind conditions can vary significantly at different altitudes, and a drone's electricity consumption also changes depending on current conditions. When operating in urban areas, it's critical that sudden changes in weather don't come as a surprise and result in drone crashes that may damage private property.

Vaisala’s accurate and reliable weather information provides drone developers and future operators with precision observations on drone landing/take-off sites.
