Raytheon
Small, rugged, unmanned aircraft which can be used to track and model hurricanes.
Originally developed for the military, the Raytheon Coyote is a small unmanned aircraft system (UAS) that can track and model hurricanes. Once launched from an aircraft, the drone can gather data from up to 50 miles away. It can fly at altitudes too low or dangerous for manned aircraft and provide forecasters with real-time data on atmospheric air pressure, temperature, moisture, wind speed and direction, as well as surface temperature.[2] Together with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the system was deployed to collect data during Hurricane Edouard in 2014 and Hurricane Maria in 2017.
