US EditionShaped by Weather: University of Oklahoma Research Fuels Uncrewed Aerial System Development, Innovation
- On May 5, 2025, researchers at the University of Oklahoma piloted uncrewed aerial systems through severe weather in Norman, Oklahoma, to advance atmospheric data collection.
- This effort arose from collaborations among engineers, meteorologists, and government scientists to transform the CopterSonde from concept to an innovative weather-sensing drone.
- The CopterSonde-3D, a patented weather-sensing drone featuring specially arranged sensors to prevent heat interference, has completed more than 1,700 flights in diverse and challenging environments.
- Bell explained that while the National Weather Service releases weather balloons two times daily, the CopterSonde provides continuous, real-time atmospheric data, enhancing forecast accuracy in situations where small temperature differences are critical.
- The team envisions a future fleet of specialized CopterSondes operating autonomously across Mesonet stations to fill data gaps and enhance severe weather prediction and safety.
