Features Fully Automatic Worldwide Hazard
Detection
Rockwell Collins has introduced the industry’s first
weather radar with a fully automatic worldwide hazard detection
system. Collins’ new MultiScan Global weather radar is
the next-generation in the WXR-2100 MultiScan weather radar series
that enhances passenger and crew safety by significantly reducing
pilot work load and enhancing weather-detection capability.
The MultiScan Global weather radar automatically adjusts weather
detection parameters for variations caused by time of day, time of
year and geographic position and then uses advanced radar threshold
technologies to adjust the radar returns to more accurately display
actual thunderstorm threats. Currently, Collins MultiScan Global
weather radar is the only radar that can provide this worldwide
hazard detection capability.
MultiScan Global weather radar builds on the MultiScan radar
tradition that digitizes and stores multiple weather sweeps in a
temporary data base and them processes the digitized weather
information to provide an optimized weather picture from the nose
of the aircraft out to 320 NM. The system features overflight
protection, providing crews with the ability to avoid inadvertent
penetration of thunderstorm tops, one of the leading causes of
unexpected turbulence encounters. Additionally, the WXR-2100
MultiScan weather radar, introduced in 2000, was the first fully
automatic radar to provide enhanced safety by reducing the need for
manual intervention. It is certified on all Boeing aircraft and
certification on Airbus aircraft is scheduled to be completed in
2004.
