BMKG awards contract for Indonesian multi radar composite center to SELEX

Selex ES GmbH, a Leonardo company, has been awarded a turnkey software integration project for the Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics (BMKG). 
​
The supply consists of a national centric multi radar data processing center based on Selex’s proprietary application software Rainbow 5. The complete system will be used as a sustainable, scalable, and harmonized radar data processing framework incorporating 21 radars in the first stage, and – at a later stage- more than 60 national radars of different suppliers. 
​
​The combination/data fusion of weather radars of different suppliers with heterogeneous weather radar hardware and software (dual polarization, bandwidths, data formats) always poses a challenge. The inherent radar system diversity can be mitigated using a centralized radar data processing solution, which uses the radar raw data (lowest common denominator) for a seamless and harmonized data processing. The Rainbow 5 based composite solution offers semantic interoperability, standardized data formats, consolidated product processing and WEB based display using the Selex ES SmartWx software environment.
