Knowing the dynamic true wind speed and direction is important and often mission-critical. The Airmar 200WX Wind & Weather Station Instrument calculates the dynamic true wind speed and direction based upon the apparent wind (the wind you would feel on your hand if you held it out while moving), speed of the vehicle, and vehicle heading. Its internal 10 Hz GPS and three-axis electronic compass provide heading, position, speed-over-ground, and course-over-ground functionality that is necessary for dynamic true wind-data processing on a moving vehicle.
The 3D compass with dynamic stabilization provided by the three-axis rate gyro enhances the rate-of-turn data. The patented Airmar 200WX Wind & Weather Station Instrument maintains dynamic compass performance in hilly and mountainous terrain—common in military situations.
