PROJECT OBJECTIVE

Meteorological information system

The Rozas Airborne Research Center (CIAR), located in Lugo, was a joint initiative of INTA, the Xunta de Galicia and the Ministry of Economy, funded by the ERDF.

It is a pioneering center that integrates aerial research platforms and remotely piloted airborne systems (RPAS), offering infrastructures for the development and safe evaluation of aircraft.

For its operation, a meteorological information system was required to collect data from local and regional networks, guaranteeing quality and reliability, in addition to having meteorological information at altitude by means of profilers or nearby sounders.

How we made it happen

Platform design and implementation

In response to the challenge posed by INTA, Álava Ingenieros, in collaboration with ITG (Instituto Tecnológico de Galicia) and the University of León, designed and developed a platform that integrated all the functions necessary for the operation of an advanced airport system.

The new system included real-time flight controls and powerful weather modeling tools. These allowed the study and analysis of historical, current and future weather data, facilitating decision making and adaptation to different conditions.

The platform went beyond simple systems integration: it incorporated novel applications, using open formats. This allowed INTA to exploit new functionalities and adapt them to future research needs.

Thanks to the development of proprietary algorithms and the integration of multichannel data (from sodar, weather towers and stations, visibilimeters and thunderstorm detectors), observation, monitoring and forecasting capabilities were improved.

The various tools integrated in the platform were configurable, based on open source and facilitated simple and intuitive visualization of the collected meteorological records and parameters.
