Military meteorological sensor MAWS6056BC

The weather sensor MAWS6056BC is a powerfull instrument measuring the weather conditions. This intelligent and sturdy device used for ballistic correction measures in a permanent way :

• the wind speedrelated to magnetic North
• the wind direction related to the magnetic North
• the ambiant temperature
• the atmospheric pressure

The high precision weather sensor MAWS6056BC answers quickly the variation of the wind and measures from the slightest breath. The measurements provided by the weather sensor are transmitted by a serial link RS-422 (or MilCAN bus on request)  to the MBT fire control system (or other). Thanks to an integrated electronic compass, the wind direction is always indicated related to magnetic North.

This weather sensor supports without any problem shocks and vibrations. It does not require any particular maintenance.

As an option, this weather sensor can be equiped with our digital ammunition storage temperature sensor (TEMPEX). It is robust, compact, automatic and without any moving parts.

The weather sensor MAWS6056BC belongs to the series of Military Automatic Weather Sensor (MAWS) 6056. The  sensors series 6056 are the outcome of more than 20 years of experience and research, whose principle of operation demonstrated its reliability and its performances on armoured vehicles worldwide.
