Stormscope Weather Mapping System

L-3 Avionics Systems' Stormscope® helps thousands of pilots safely avoid the hazards of convective weather. With Stormscope®, they spot dangerous conditions that radar might not show. The Stormscope® series enables pilots to make informed, flight critical decisions about thunderstorm avoidance and allows them to fly with greater confidence. These Series II Stormscope® products incorporate the latest ranging technology for more precise tracking of lightning discharges from as far away as 200 nmi.

The Stormscope® WX-950 offers real-time weather avoidance with unprecedented flexibility. It features two modes of operation for precise thunderstorm mapping.

WX-950
360° view in Cell Mode


In Cell Mode, the WX-950 displays storm cells with better cell definition and range, allowing for easier interpretation for navigating around the areas to avoid.
WX 950
WX 950
WX-950
120° view in Strike Mode


In Strike Mode, the WX-950 detects and maps individual strikes, allowing you to monitor sporadic electrical activity which may indicate the beginnings of a storm.
If you like a dedicated, “always on” display, the WX-950 is the Stormscope system for you. The WX-950 provides two modes of operation — cell mode and strike mode. In cell mode, it detects lightning up to 200 nautical miles out and displays storm cell areas of greatest intensity. During periods of heavy electrical activity, cell mode clearly indicates if there is a path to safely avoid thunderstorms. In strike mode, the WX-950 detects and maps individual strikes, allowing you to monitor sporadic electrical activity that may indicate the beginnings of a storm. Ranges of 25, 50, 100, and 200 nm are available in 360° view or 120° forward looking view.
