Wind Measuring and Information Systems (WMIS) Laboratory

Lakehurst, NJ

The WMIS laboratory provides support for a broad range of WMIS and Visual Landing Aid (VLA) systems for direct Fleet support. The WMIS laboratory includes a stabilized glide slope indicator system (SGSI), a Fresnel lens optical landing system (FLOLS), a horizontal reference set (HRS), and an air capable shipboard wind measuring and indicating system. These systems combine in a temperature-controlled environment to provide the laboratory with the capability of simulating and testing for engineering investigations of any WMIS related fleet problems.
