Not just "what's the weather," but "what happens to the water."   The University of Cagliari's Hydrology Group acquired a weather radar to answer exactly that: supporting advanced research in hydrology and operational meteorology, not just running a forecasting desk.   As Alessandro Seoni, Research Technician in Hydrology and Hydraulic Engineering at Università di Cagliari, told us, their WR-25XP radar supports:   → Nowcasting: merging local radar observations with national mosaic...

In sailing, weather is not a condition to play around. It is the competition itself.   Regional weather radar resolves entire territory. It was not used to resolve one stretch of race water.   The Louis Vuitton Cup raced through the Gulf of Cagliari. One of the most watched sailing competitions in the world.   ELDES deployed a WR-10X X-band Weather Radar System on-site for the full duration of the competition.   📍...

Gap filling: the most underrated job in flood forecasting.     Three C-band weather radars already cover the basin in central Vietnam. Terrain and radar geometry still leave some sectors only partially monitored.   A Belgian-Vietnamese cooperation project is addressing this with an ELDES WR-10X X-band radar, designed to complement the existing network.   ELDES, HydroScan, and VDDMA, Vietnam's Disaster and Dike Management Authority, met in Da Nang on June 18-19 to...

Suspend play or continue? You have minutes to decide.   At an event like the Internazionali BNL d'Italia (ATP), that decision carries full operational and reputational weight.   Call it too late: a safety incident on court, in front of thousands of spectators and live cameras. Call it too early: lost revenue. The margin between the two is not measured in hours. It is measured in minutes.   Here is why standard forecasting...

Aristotle University of Thessaloniki — Greece, 2024   A storm is forming over Northern Greece. Someone needs to see it coming.   The Department of Meteorology and Climatology at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki now has the infrastructure to do exactly that.   Their ELDES WR-10X Weather Radar System is operational and running three core research applications:   Storm mapping and flood risk analysis for the region Numerical weather forecast verification and optimisation ...

A three-week airborne validation campaign exceeds €6.4M in direct costs.   It cannot be repeated on demand. It cannot cover every threat scenario you need. The same constraint applies on naval platforms: range windows, sea conditions, and platform availability impose limits that no budget can fully overcome.   Modern radar sensors (including also RF seekers), EW self-protection suites, share this problem. And they share the same answer.   RF Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL)...
