TORRANCE, Calif., Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Integrated Weather Observation System (IWOS) will be the official remote weather station employed by the U.S. Air Force (USAF). The IWOS will soon be the primary man-portable weather station used by the USAF in gathering essential meteorological data from remote airfields in austere or denied areas. The previous remote weather station, which was in use for over 20 years, consisted of up to 80 separate components, weighed approximately 100 lb, and required at least 30 minutes and 2 to 3 service members to set up. The IWOS, by contrast, weighs just 25 lb, fits inside a single case, and takes less than 15 minutes for one service member to install. This solution will greatly improve the efficiency of USAF operations and the safety of Air Force service members in hostile terrain where meteorological data is limited and needed.
