Remote Lightning Alert Systems
Protecting Lives and Critical Infrastructure from Lightning Strikes
Lightning strikes are among the most dangerous weather hazards in the United States, causing more fatalities annually than tornadoes and hurricanes combined. Survivors often suffer lifelong injuries, making rapid, reliable lightning detection systems critical for safety.
Lightning detection is only the first step in protecting airports, industrial facilities, sports complexes and other high-risk environments. The ability to trigger immediate and far-reaching alerts is just as important, and BWI Eagle systems offer tremendous advantages in this area.
