Today, the Automated Weather Observing Systems (AWOS) have evolved from simple sensors into sophisticated, data-driven platforms that enable smarter, better decision-making. As part of ADB SAFEGATE since 2021, DBT Transportation Services LLC is proud to service over 900 airports worldwide with AWOS solutions - delivering reliable data that optimizes airside operations.
Full Service, Every Step of the Way
We support every phase of the AWOS journey - from system design and installation to certification and ongoing care. Our comprehensive approach means you have a single, trusted partner for the entire lifecycle of your system, allowing you to focus on making the most of the valuable data provided.
The Next Generation AWOS
In 2023, we took a leap forward in weather monitoring with the launch of our most advanced F1 AWOS. Designed for Airside 4.0® and built on a legacy of reliability and innovation, this next generation leverages cutting-edge technology for superior performance and flexibility. Since its launch, F1 AWOS has earned the trust of 100 airports nationwide. As the only FAA Non-Federal AWOS provider to design and manufacture advanced sensors and data platforms entirely in-house, we’re setting a new standard for performance and adaptability.
Key features of this AWOS include:
- Full FAA Type Certification under Advisory Circular 150/5220-16E, specifically for non-federal airports.
- Comprehensive weather data collection sensors with advanced aviation weather display software
- Seamless integration with existing FAA Non-Federal AWOS installations
- Configurable options from AWOS I to AWOS IV-Z
- Supported by a nationwide network of 50+ factory-trained expert technicians, ensuring reliable service
How AWOS is Making a Difference
F1 AWOS is making a measurable difference across a wide range of environments - helping municipal airports enhance safety and efficiency in their daily operations and enabling regional hubs to better manage increased traffic and shifting weather conditions. In remote or high-profile destinations, F1 AWOS delivers the reliable, real-time data needed to navigate complex environments with greater confidence. For offshore operations, where reliability is essential, F1 AWOS provides critical weather insights that support safer, more efficient decision-making.
Why Reliability Matters
Weather influences every aspect of airside operations - from runway conditions and flight planning to the split-second decisions made by pilots and controllers. Our advanced AWOS delivers comprehensive, real-time weather data - including wind, visibility, temperature, cloud height, and severe weather alerts - empowering airport teams to make data-driven decisions that support safer skies and uninterrupted operations.
Connected Airfields for the Future
Our next-generation AWOS demonstrates our commitment to smarter, better airside operations - now and into the future. Its flexible, scalable design adapts to each airport’s unique needs, integrating seamlessly with existing systems and supporting new communication technologies like VHF radio, VoIP, fiber, and cellular.
Looking Ahead: Innovation Without Limits
As aviation continues to evolve, so does our technology. We remain dedicated to continuous improvement, adapting to extreme weather, advancing sensor integration, and empowering connected airfields for smarter, data-driven decision making.
