TruWeather delivers more precise, hyperlocal weather intelligence for low-altitude mobility operations by deploying specialized sensors that close critical data gaps, ensuring continuous, verified observations and sharper, more reliable forecasts.
"Detroit’s unique micro-weather creates real challenges for small drone and advanced air mobility operations, especially the shifting winds around tall buildings. The Detroit Smart Parking Lab is leading the way in addressing those challenges by introducing advanced weather technologies and real-time data collection. By partnering with DSPL, TruWeather is helping build the weather infrastructure needed to give operators the confidence and certainty required for safe, reliable and efficient low-altitude flight planning in an urban environment. ”

Founder and CEO
TruWeather closes low-altitude data gaps by deploying specialized sensors that capture real-time, high-value observations where traditional models fall short. These inputs power high-resolution forecasts, cutting false delays, cancellations and inefficiencies for low-altitude aviation systems. Our V360 platform transforms this data into actionable intelligence, delivering extended forecasts, flight-window identification, and intuitive risk insights for industry-leading efficiency.
What they're doing at the lab
Beyond supporting the Detroit Smart Parking Lab Droneport, TruWeather is helping the region set a new standard for weather intelligence that drives innovation, growth and community resilience. Hyperlocal insights reduce weather-driven disruptions at critical hubs, optimizing workflows, cutting costly delays and strengthening Midwest supply chains. Real-time weather intelligence also empowers first responders to safely deploy drones for disaster relief, medical deliveries and search-and-rescue operations, even in fast-changing conditions. As Detroit advances urban air mobility, TruWeather data ensures the safety and reliability required for routine drone and future air taxi operations.
