Sensitive aircraft and related assets are often staged on open tarmacs for maintenance or servicing. In this case, the aircraft are frequently exposed to direct lightning strikes. SLS offers customized portable lightning protection solutions with integrated lightning monitoring capabilities to mitigate lightning risk to these assets.
As an example, SLS utilized Jupiter OLS high-speed camera monitoring systems and Jupiter TMS transient recorders to provide precision lightning monitoring for the Pegasus launch program, which supports an air-launched vehicle under the belly of an L-1011 aircraft.
