Honeywell has unveiled its IntuVue line of airborne weather radars as the rebranded extension of the company’s RDR-4000 radar previously selected for the Airbus A380 and Gulfstream G650.  

What makes the IntuVue radar series different from previous-generation Honeywell radars is its use of so-called volumetric scanning techniques to search the sky from the ground to 60,000 feet, enter that information into a database and then provide a three-dimensional view of the weather, even keeping it on the radar display as storm cells slide behind the airplane.
