Before digital technology, a common misconception of weather radar was that a system's overall performance was directly related to the maximum power level of its transmitter. With the development and success of the TWR-850/WXR-840/WXR-800 systems, Rockwell Collins has shattered this myth. The Rockwell Collins family of solid-state weather radars achieves all of its industry-leading performance with a lightweight, 30-watt transmitter instead of the kilowatt-class transceivers used by radar systems with comparable features and capabilities designed decades ago.

With weather detection ranges of up to 320 miles and available Doppler ^TM  turbulence detection at ranges of up to 50 miles, Rockwell Collins weather radars give you the time you need to select the smoothest, most-efficient routes around dangerous weather systems.
