Skyway, TruWeather Collaborate “to Trial4D Kinetic Atmospheric Motion Image Intelligent System (KAMIIS) for AAM”
Skyway and TruWeather Solutions recently announced their next phase of collaboration aimed at leading Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operations through the integration of Skyway’s advanced navigation operations technology and TruWeather’s innovative W.I.S.E. (Weather Intelligence Sensing Ecosystem) infrastructure, reports a press release.
This partnership “redefines how weather data and airspace navigation systems support AAM testing and operations, providing precision and reliability,” says the release.
It explains, “TruWeather’s W.I.S.E. system delivers real-time data to their V360 analytics platform, projecting a detailed view of wind and weather dynamics, while Skyway’s advanced airspace management interface ensures optimised risk assessments for eVTOL aircraft operations. Together, these technologies enable operators to optimise operations by providing efficiency and safety while increasing revenue generation.”
Don Berchoff, CEO of TruWeather CEO, remarked, “We have testbeds in key locations with diverse weather conditions-including wind shear, turbulence, low cloud ceilings and visibility as well as icing, which allow us to address challenges unique to lighter, electric-powered AAM vehicles. By combining TruWeather’s advanced weather intelligence with Skyway’s operational technology, we set the stage for reliable, data-driven AAM solutions.”

The release continues, “A key component of this initiative is TruWeather’s involvement in NASA’s ‘Pathfinding for Airspace with Autonomous Vehicles (PAAV)’ program. This establishes a dedicated corridor between Hollister Airport and NASA Ames in San Jose, California.”
It goes on, “TruWeather’s hyperlocal weather analyses and predictive capabilities will combine with Skyway’s real-time airspace 3D imaging technology to innovate and progress meteorological digital twin systems. This KAMIIS technology will provide a level of precision rendered in near real-time that has never been successfully scientifically demonstrated nor commercialised.”
Hollister Airport, an important site for eVTOL testing, is soon to benefit from TruWeather’s deployment of advanced weather sensors. This includes wind-scanning LiDARs, vertical LiDARs and cloud and visibility sensors, all designed to gather hyperlocal wind and weather data. Skyway’s interface will integrate this data into its airspace image system, allowing eVTOL operators to assess how small-scale wind conditions impact eVTOL aircraft performance, ensuring safer and more efficient operations under real-world conditions.

Therefore, the two parties create a ‘living lab’ powered by the full capabilities of the W.I.S.E. ecosystem and Skyway’s navigation operations platform. They aim to advance AAM operations by integrating real-time weather and navigation technologies for smarter routing, precise navigation and improved payload management.
Clifford Cruz, Skyway CEO, concluded, “Weather intelligence will deliver a safer, more efficient AAM ecosystem. This is science you only see in movies.”
