IMS4 LLWAS

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The IMS4 Low Level Windshear Alert System (LLWAS) by MicroStep-MIS is designed to enhance flight safety during critical phases such as take-off and landing by detecting low-level windshears and microbursts. This system is crucial for both CAT III international airport hubs and non-CAT local airfields.

System Features
The LLWAS offers compliance with the UCAR Phase-3 algorithm and provides a turn-key delivery from site survey to lifetime support. It supports multiple sensor interfaces and can function as a standalone system or integrate with AWOS/AWDSS.

Field Measurement System
The system requires at least six wind stations installed near the airport. Site selection and algorithm optimization are critical, and MicroStep-MIS provides experienced teams for tailored solutions.

IMS4 LLWAS Server
The server, available as a standard COTS or dual hot failover cluster, collects data, validates and recalculates it, runs detection algorithms, and distributes alerts. It can integrate with the IMS4 AWOS system for comprehensive data delivery.

LLWAS Displays
Displays are ergonomically optimized to present alerts and data effectively, ensuring all necessary functionalities are accessible.

Software Platform
The IMS4 application software includes a built-in web and application server, configuration wizards, and security mechanisms. It allows authorized users to access data and configure settings via a web-based interface.

System Requirements
The system requires a standard server or dual hot-failover cluster, compatible with Linux or Microsoft Windows 7/Server 2008, and supports Mozilla Firefox.

Compliance and Certification
The system complies with NCAR LLWAS Phase-3 algorithm, ICAO Annexes 3, 10, and 14, and ISO 9001:2008 standards. It is certified by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Slovak Republic for use in civil aviation.

Conclusion
The IMS4 LLWAS is an integral part of the Aviation Weather Decision Support System, providing critical runway condition forecasts and enhancing overall aviation safety.
