Advanced Radar provides applications for weather radar systems, including hardware, software and customized products for severe weather detection, storm tracking, cloud and precipitation formation, and wind-shear detection. ARC has developed and deployed radar systems on every continent, except Antarctica.

“We are excited at the opportunity to combine ARC’s leading radar technology with NDP’s proven engineering, marketing and program management experience to create a leader in the global market for weather radars,” German Nunez, co-founder and president of NDP, said in a prepared statement.
