Upgraded Lockheed Martin WC-130J 'Weatherbirds' Will Improve Hurricane Hunting With More Precise Wind Speed Measurements
Lockheed Martin is in the process of installing the Stepped Frequency Microwave Radiometer (SFMR) on WC-130J aircraft that will greatly enhance the accuracy of data collected during storm tracking missions.
SFMR will accurately measure wind speed and rainfall at sea level, enabling more precise forecasting of the severity and direction of storms.
