Organizations in need of a hyperlocal ground information and weather data solution to enhance operational efficiencies
About L3Harris Helios
Traditional weather forecasting predicts what will likely happen in the atmosphere, often missing events on the ground. Helios weather analytics bridge that gap with fast and accurate local ground weather intelligence to enable real-time decision-making for organizations that rely on location-specific weather information to inform, react and protect. Helios environmental intelligence platform from L3Harris provides essential information about hyperlocal weather that traditional weather sources typically struggle to discern. Helios uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to detect the occurrence and impacts of weather in specific locations on critical ground infrastructure through its large terrestrial camera network. This timely data is important for weather-dependent decision-making. A scalable cloud AI processing platform is the foundation for imagery management and provides an open API and web application for content delivery.

MetGIS
MetGIS is a high-precision weather data platform that combines advanced numerical weather prediction models with extremely detailed terrain information to produce ultra-accurate forecasts and meteorological insights. MetGIS’s name reflects its core strengths: “Met” for meteorology and “GIS” for geographic information systems, enabling forecasts that integrate exact altitude and location data for improved detail and relevance. This makes it especially reliable in complex environments like mountainous regions where conventional forecast systems struggle. It delivers weather information through a suite of weather APIs designed for easy integration into websites, mobile apps, and enterprise systems. These include services for point-specific weather forecasts, high-resolution weather layers for mapping applications, historical weather data, long-range forecasts, and weather warnings — all with spatial resolution down to around 30 meters.
