The system will provide detailed weather information for any requested area, as well as data for marine vessels in the Arctic in the absence of communication with the mainland. The meteorological and ice monitoring system was developed by the Television Research Institute, which is part of the Ruselectronics holding of the Rostec State Corporation.
The system can be supplied in land-based and marine versions. It is capable of:
- receiving, processing, and analyzing hydrometeorological and geophysical information from hydrometeorological satellites;
- calculating the temperature of the land and sea surface, the height of the upper cloud boundary, the type and intensity of precipitation, and soil moisture content;
- operating in the extreme conditions of Arctic regions at ambient temperatures down to −60 °C and wind speeds up to 50 m/s;
- receiving information from satellites in two frequency bands simultaneously—centimeter and decimeter;
- issuing requests for meteorological information not only within the region but also by the coordinates of a specific area;
- receiving additional equipment to work not only with existing but also with future meteorological satellites.
Factory tests of the system were conducted for six months in automatic and manual modes under various climatic conditions, and its operation was stable and reliable. By the end of 2024, the Television Research Institute intends to certify the system and hand over its first copies to the customer.
