Automatic Weather Observing System (AWOS) is a system designed to automatically observe and report weather conditions at a specific location, particularly at airports. AWOS has three different categories based on the level of accuracy and detail of the information provided. Category I AWOS typically provides basic information such as temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, and atmospheric pressure. Category II AWOS offers more comprehensive data with additional information on visibility and weather conditions, while Category III AWOS provides the most comprehensive data, including high-precision measurements and the ability to detect more complex weather conditions, which are crucial for safe flight operations.
CampbellAero™ AWOS
Campbell Aero Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) and Runway Visual Range (RVR) solutions are designed to accommodate and adapt to a diverse set of needs. Campbell Aero AWOS and RVR solutions are proven to be rugged and reliable in the harshest of environments.
Campbell Aero software and AeroX Stream™200 hardware provide maximum flexibility to airport managers, air traffic controllers, weather observers, and maintenance personnel to ensure they are in control of their specific AWOS and RVR solutions. Managers can select their preferred sensing technologies, and users can customize their display layouts to improve efficiency and reduce near-term, subsequent project costs.
Campbell Aero AWOS and RVR solutions are International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and World Meteorological Organization (WMO) compliant and built to sustain a low total cost of ownership over time.
CampbellAero™
Airport managers, air traffic controllers, weather observers, and maintenance personnel who demand ICAO- and WMO-compliant solutions trust Campbell Scientific aviation software. Managers can select their preferred sensing technologies, and users can customize their display layouts to improve efficiency and reduce near-term, subsequent project costs. Designed with the modern network airport operator in mind, personnel can access sensor and field-ready system diagnostics even in remote, centralized facilities. METAR/SPECI reports can be generated automatically or by weather observers at remote locations.
CampbellAero provides on-premise or web-based clients with options for many user profiles, including air traffic controllers, meteorological observers, maintenance personnel, and system administrators.
CampbellAero software can run on Windows or Linux-based operating systems. It has been designed to meet modern aviation stakeholder requirements related to security and software assurance.
AeroXStream™ 200
Powered by the same technology used on Mount Everest, the AeroX Stream 200 field-ready system is built from a rugged and modular design. It accommodates a variety of sensors, communications peripherals, and power options for reliability in extreme conditions.
AeroX™LightRLIM
The AeroX Light is a runway light intensity monitor (RLIM) designed specifically for Campbell Aero AWOS. As runway lighting changes, so does the RVR measurement. One of the three components used in the RVR assessment, an RLIM system measures runway light intensity to feed into the RVR algorithms. The AeroX Light RLIM can monitor up to four runways that have two lighting loops per runway. Additional units can be added for scalability.
PT Manvis, as the official distributor of Campbell Scientific in Indonesia, offers two options for AWOS that clients can choose from. The first option is the Campbell Aero, which has proven reliable and is used in various airports.
AWOS Akasa Manvis
The second option is the Akasa Manvis AWOS, a domestically produced product developed to meet the specific weather conditions in Indonesia. With extensive experience in the maintenance and procurement of AWOS, PT Manvis has been entrusted by the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) to maintain several AWOS sites throughout Indonesia, ensuring that the systems in use are always in optimal condition.
In 2023, PT Manvis successfully completed research and development of its own AWOS, named Akasa AWOS. This product has been implemented in several airports across Indonesia, covering Categories I, II, and III. With technology tailored to local needs, Akasa AWOS provides an efficient and accurate solution for weather observation at airports.
PT Manvis offers this solution to airport managers and related agencies to ensure the safety and operational efficiency of flights through accurate and reliable weather monitoring.
AWOS Akasa Heli
PT Manvis also provides specialized AWOS solutions tailored for helipads. These systems are specifically designed and researched to meet the unique weather observation needs of helicopter operations. Recognizing the critical importance of precise weather data for safe and efficient helicopter landings and takeoffs, the AWOS for helipads offers real-time monitoring of essential parameters such as wind speed, direction, visibility, and atmospheric conditions. By ensuring that helipads are equipped with reliable weather observation systems, PT Manvis contributes to enhancing safety standards and operational efficiency in helicopter services, catering to the distinct requirements of this sector.
