Your meteorological network is a collection of diverse equipment. Tying everything together into a complete solution brings enhanced situational awareness to meteorologists, plus better forecasting and improved warning times for residents in harm’s way.

This is the most significant upgrade to the nation’s weather radar

network since Doppler radar was first installed in the early 1990s.

- Jack Hayes, former National Weather Service director, Discussing the NEXRAD Dual-Pol Upgrade
