UAV & Cloud Seeding Systems

Rotary and fixed-wing VTOL platforms built for weather modification, together with the pyrotechnic flares and autonomous flight systems that deliver seeding agents precisely where they are needed.

UAV & Cloud Seeding Systems products

Meteodrone MM-670 (Seeding Variant)

Meteodrone MM-670 (Seeding Variant)

A 6-rotor UAV specifically modified for cloud seeding. It can carry up to two burn-in-place flares (e.g., Zeus MK2) for releasing silver iodide. Features an emergency parachute recovery system and autonomous flight capabilities for precise seeding patterns.

Max Payload
Up to 1 kg for instruments, 400g for flares
Flight Time
~20 minutes
Operating Ceiling
Up to 6 km above mean sea level
JOUAV CW-80E VTOL UAS

JOUAV CW-80E VTOL UAS

A large, fixed-wing VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) UAV designed for long-endurance weather modification missions. Capable of carrying heavy payloads for wide-area cloud seeding, including warm cloud flares.

Max Payload
25 kg
Flight Endurance
Up to 480 minutes (8 hours)
Operational Radius
100–200 km
Meteodrone MM-670 (Measurement Variant)

Meteodrone MM-670 (Measurement Variant)

A multirotor UAV optimized for atmospheric profiling. Equipped with sensors for temperature, humidity, and pressure, it is used to collect high-resolution meteorological data and characterize aerosol plumes, often in tandem with a seeding UAV.

Instrumentation
Temp (±0.1 K), RH (±1.8%), Pressure (±1.5 hPa), Wind speed/direction
Flight Time
~20 minutes
Special Features
Propeller heating, Portable Optical Particle Spectrometer (POPS) compatible
Zeus MK2 Cloud Seeding Flare

Zeus MK2 Cloud Seeding Flare

A pyrotechnic flare designed for UAV-based glaciogenic cloud seeding. The flare releases a mixture containing silver iodide (AgI) to act as ice nuclei within supercooled clouds.

Burn Time
5-6 minutes per flare
Composition
200g of material (AgI, silver chloride, salts)
Ice-Active Material
~20g

NIMS Weather Modification Drone

A domestic autonomous flight-type drone developed for fog dissipation and lower-level cloud seeding, capable of operating in complex environments.

Max Takeoff Weight
~25 kg
Payload
Up to 4 burning flares for seeding materials
Sensors
Measures temperature, pressure, humidity, wind, and aerosols (PM10, PM2.5, PM1.0)
