The Honeywell IntuVue RDR-7000 is an advanced airborne weather radar system designed to deliver comprehensive, automated situational awareness for both commercial and military aircraft. Leveraging 3D volumetric scanning and predictive hazard detection, it enhances flight safety by providing early alerts and intuitive weather mapping—all while reducing pilot workload and system lifecycle costs.

Enhanced Weather Awareness with Automated Intelligence
The RDR-7000 represents a significant leap forward in weather radar technology, featuring 3D volumetric scanning that automatically builds a real-time, three-dimensional map of weather hazards up to 320 nautical miles ahead of the aircraft. Unlike traditional radars that require manual tilt adjustments, the RDR-7000 continuously scans from the ground to 60,000 feet, identifying lightning, hail, turbulence, and wind shear without pilot input. This automation reduces workload and ensures continuous monitoring of potentially dangerous weather phenomena, enabling earlier and more informed decision-making.
Compact Design with Seamless Integration
Built with ease of installation and long-term efficiency in mind, the RDR-7000 is a fully solid-state, lightweight system requiring no dedicated radar display. It integrates directly into existing avionics systems and supports growth toward predictive weather capabilities, including future enhancements like wind shear and turbulence prediction. With fewer line replaceable units (LRUs) and reduced maintenance requirements, the system not only improves operational efficiency but also contributes to lower overall costs for operators while ensuring flight safety in all phases of operation.
