Nudhum is an specialized service provider that designs, installs, and configures an Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) to meet specific aviation and meteorological needs, ensuring seamless integration with existing airport information and communication systems. Key aspects of their work include selecting appropriate sensors and software, ensuring compliance with international and national standards (like ICAO and FAA), and providing the technical expertise to integrate the system for real-time data distribution to pilots and air traffic control
Nuudhum possess the specialized knowledge of both weather technology and aviation standards needed to build a compliant and reliable system.
We provide flexible solutions that are “sensor-independent,” meaning we can work with various sensor manufacturers and allow for future upgrades without compromising the system.
Nudhum also adapt the AWOS system to local requirements and specifications, whether for a small airport or a large, multi-runway facility.
Integration and delivery of meteorological sensors
Nudhum can integrate existing meteorological sensors from different manufacturers, or deliver a complete meteorological system including sensors if requested.
Nudhum providesÂ
System Design:
A tailored AWOS solution, selecting compatible hardware (sensors for wind, visibility, temperature, etc.) and software to meet airport requirements.
Installation & Configuration:
Physical sensors and the central software platform, configuring the system to monitor, process, and distribute real-time weather data.
Integration with Existing Systems:
A crucial role is integrating the AWOS data into airport operations, such as Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems, airport services, and meteorological systems, through interfaces like AMHS and IWXXM. Nudhum offers in-house capability and a wide experience in Saudi arabia.
Compliance and Certification:
We ensure the system meets stringent regulatory requirements from bodies like the ICAO and the FAA, a necessity for official weather reporting in aviation.
Data Distribution:
The integrated system is set up to automatically broadcast data to pilots via radio and landlines, and to national weather services for forecasting.
Fully automated for (un)manned sites
For remote or unmanned sites like helipads, offshore windfarms and rigs the fully automatic AWOS operations is typically the norm. AWOS supports autonomous weather reporting as well as the Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) and the new ICAO requirements in relation to Runway Condition Assessment Matrix (RCAM)/Global Reporting Format (GRF) etc.n.
