Coastal Environmental SystemsCoastal Environmental Systems Founded in 1981 Goal: To collect and telemeter high quality
environmental data Began with cutting edge instrumentation for
Military and University research Evolved to large production projects New Goal: Integrate high quality
environmental data into DB’s, Networks, Lan’s, Wan’s, www.

Who relies on Coastal’s Weather Stations?Who relies on Coastal’s Weather Stations?
• In a joint Air Force NASA program they had Coastal create a “SUPER” Aviation weather station which has a completely redundant back-up system operating in tandem with the primary system to assist in guiding the Space Shuttle in for a safe landing.

US NAVY: The South Pole
• Working with the U.S. Navy and the NSF (National Science Foundation) Coastal was able to modify our aviation system to be the first ever to survive and operate at THE South Pole station. (it gets as cold as -90 degrees!).
