Mobile Threat Net Real-time weather monitoring system that goes where you go. Use it in your vehicle – while parked or underway. GPS plotter shows your position relative to bad weather.

COMPACT IN SIZE... but not in features

FEATURES Data transmitted and updated every 5 minutes via XM satellite. Full-color weather maps on your laptop. Zoom-in to any location in the country. Automatic storm tracking with to-the-minute time of arrival.

FEATURES (cont’d) Snow, ice, rain and limited visibility mapping. Ocean temperatures and wave heights. Automatic display of lightning strikes for entire country. Temperatures, winds, precipitation amounts, and more - - it’s all there for you.

National to Neighborhood Views

Storm Cell Identification Tracks, or SCITs Automatically Generated Just click on any SCIT box to quickly generate a storm track and see the estimated times of arrival over places in the storm’s path. Severe weather is clearly evident wherever SCIT markers appear. Purple SCITS indicate potentially dangerous thunderstorms Details of the storm, such as wind speed and direction and the width of the storm are also instantly displayed.. Orange Spinning Disk SCITS indicate possible tornadic storms

Ice and Snow Depicted in High Definition Snow in White Ice in Pink.

Fast & reliable updates every 5 minutes. All 158 NEXRAD radar sites included..

High Definition Radar Baron High Definition Non-High Definition.

Put maps into motion See how storm cells have moved over time

Lightning This feature displays strike-by-strike lightning data for the entire United States

NWS Warnings National Weather Service Warnings are instantly displayed for the counties you select. Red Counties are Tornado Warnings Yellow Counties are Thunderstorm Warnings Blue Counties are Flood Warnings. You can also select an audible alert.

Nationwide Land & Sea Sensors Display Current Conditions Click on any LAND based sensor for current ground weather conditions

Nationwide Land & Sea Sensors Display Current Conditions Click on any SEA (or LAKE) based sensor for current buoy conditions

Tropical Tropical feature allows you to display Hurricane Tracks

Tropical Tropical feature also allows you to display Wave Heights

Marine Marine feature allows you to easily display water surface temps

Winds Winds indicate wind speed and direction up to 42,000 feet in 3,000 foot increments

Winds Winds can be viewed down to street level

Cloud Tops Tops display echo cloud tops up to 70,000 feet in 5,000 foot increments

Visibility Visibility identifies areas where visibility is less than 10 miles

GPS With the optional GPS unit you can plot your vehicle’s position and movement directly atop the weather maps. You can show range rings in varying distances, to help track where you are in relation to area weather..

A complete solution that goes where you go. Use your Mobile Threat Net wherever you go.
