IPSM Wins Colombian Air Force Weather Satellite Recieve System Project!

Bogotá, Colombia, 22 Oct 08: IPSM, in cooperation with our partner Unicom Ltda. of Colombia, has officially won a contract to install a GOES-12/GVAR weather satellite direct receive system into the Colombian Air Force (FAC) headquarters in Bogotá. The IPSM Magellan/LEADS system solution will allow FAC forecasters to process, display, and analyze GOES-12/GVAR weather satellite data for use in supporting overall military aviation and resource protection operations. FAC users will also be able to integrate the GOES-12/GVAR imagery produced by the Magellan/LEADS system with other current systems, increasing overall situational awareness for leaders and decision-makers. Additionally, IPSM will host a contingent of FAC forecasters for a 2-week satellite meteorology course as part of this project.
