Purpose of the development: The system is designed to warn the operational personnel of strategic facilities, military units, holiday camps and individuals about the high probability of lightning occurring at their place of stay.

Recommended application field: Strategic facilities, military units, recreation camps, small vessels (boats, yachts).

Advantages over analogues: Compared to the existing in the world samples of indicators of the intensity of the electric field of the atmosphere, the advantage of the developed system is that the sensor efficiency does not depend on the presence of wind, rain and atmospheric pressure fluctuations. The sensor does not contain moving elements or imitate the movement of the electrodes. As a result, the level of energy consumption is much less than that of its counterparts. Therefore, the time of functioning in the autonomous mode (on the battery) exceeds the duration of a thunderstorm period. The cost of the sensor and warning system is several times lower than that of analogs.

The development stage readiness: Pre-production model is made

Description of the development:
()
Warning of thunderstorm is carried out for 10-15 minutes. before the occurrence of lightning in a particular place with a probability of more than 90%. The thunderstorm warning system is based on the concept of monitoring the intensity of the electric field of the atmosphere using sensors that operate on the effect of corona current from metal rods. The computer model for calculating the probability distribution of lightning strikes the elements of an object is protected by copyright certificate for the work. The system corresponds to the modern world trend. This is confirmed by the new specialized standard IEC 62793: 2016 Protection against lightning-Thunderstorm warning systems. An autonomous sensor of electric field intensity for equipping small vessels (boats, yachts, etc.) can be especially widely used.
