Murdo - 12 stations US Air Force - Patrick and Vandenberg - 50+ stations FAA - SAWS - 275 stations NWS - RSOIS - 100+ stations US Navy - SMOOS - 150 stations Israeli Military Forces - 285 Stations NWS - Fischer Porter - 2, 700 Stations US Air Force - OS-21 FBS - 200 stations
Who relies on Coastal’s Weather Stations? NASA: The Space Shuttle • In a joint Air Force NASA program they had Coastal create a “SUPER” Aviation weather station which has a completely redundant backup system operating in tandem with the primary system to assist in guiding the Space Shuttle in for a safe landing.
Who relies on Coastal’s Weather Stations? White House: The US President • Coastal build and installed an aviation weather station at Andrews Air Base – home base for the President and all the White House staff.
Who relies on Coastal’s Weather Stations? US NAVY: The South Pole • Working with the U. S. Navy and the NSF (National Science Foundation) Coastal was able to modify our aviation system to be the first ever to survive and operate at THE South Pole station. (it gets as cold as -90 degrees!).
Who relies on Coastal’s Weather Stations? US Air Force: Every world-wide Base • The US Air Force purchased over 110 Aviation stations for almost every US Air Force Base and Army Base in the US and around the world.
