In addition to our work with various agencies of the U.S. Federal Government, we work with U.S. Army bases across the country to secure outdoor spaces. Here are a few of the different agencies we support.

Department of Defense

The Department of Defense has trusted Earth Networks total lightning network data to help support a number of its weather sensitive, mission critical branches such as the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Army.

U.S. Army

The U.S. Army proving grounds has leveraged our total lightning network data to support operations and safety at its numerous proving grounds.

FAA

The FAA uses our total lightning network data as an input to synthetic radar in their Offshore Precipitation Capability currently being used throughout the Caribbean where little to no radar exists.

NTSB

The National Transportation Safety Board uses our Sferic Maps software for real-time weather tracking and our historical weather data for incident investigations.

Our solutions support weather-ready base and airfield operations.

From total lightning detection and alerting to weather forecasting support from our 24/7 team of meteorologists, we have a solution to meet your needs.

Total Lightning Detection
