Kestrel

Accurate ballistic performance is inseparable from precise environmental data. Kestrel solutions deliver real-time atmospheric measurement and advanced ballistic computation, enabling shooters, military units, law enforcement professionals, and engineers to make confident, data-driven decisions in the field. Designed for mission-critical reliability, Kestrel instruments transform raw environmental inputs into actionable ballistic intelligence.

The Kestrel product family goes beyond single-button instant measurements by enabling minimum, maximum, and average value tracking, time- and date-stamped data logging, and—on selected models—wireless data transfer via LiNK/Bluetooth, effectively extending reporting from the field to the office. This approach supports not only data acquisition but also evidence-based decision making and documentation across a wide range of applications, including wildfire management, occupational health and safety (WBGT/heat stress), agricultural operations (spray drift risk, Delta T), construction and industrial environments (localized “hot spot” analysis), as well as research and education (microclimate data set generation).

Kestrel’s pocket-sized, portable form factor enables rapid repositioning and continuous data collection in environments where fixed weather stations are impractical or where mobile field operations are required—without compromising data continuity or measurement reliability.

The Kestrel portfolio spans from basic wind meters to advanced weather and environmental measurement instruments, as well as wireless data loggers such as the DROP series. This breadth allows users to select a configuration that matches their specific operational needs—ranging from simple wind speed measurement to monitoring temperature-, humidity-, and pressure-based environmental risks; collecting critical parameters for fire behavior analysis (e.g., humidity, temperature, and wind trends); verifying spray conditions in agricultural applications; supporting WBGT-based work/rest decisions in occupational safety; and conducting long-term data collection for research projects.

The common denominator across all Kestrel devices is fast field usability, durability in harsh environmental conditions, and measurement readability and calculation capabilities that transform raw data into actionable information.

What sets Kestrel apart is its ability to transform environmental measurement from a general estimation into an operational verification tool: measurements are taken directly in the field, at the exact point where events occur, and can be recorded, shared, and reported when required.

This approach has a direct impact on tangible outcomes such as risk reduction in team safety and OHS processes, more accurate tactical decision-making in firefighting and emergency response, loss and cost reduction in agriculture and industry, and traceability in research and audit activities.

With its rugged design (waterproofing and drop resistance), high-readability display, and intuitive control layout, Kestrel provides a reliable measurement infrastructure for both professional field operations and harsh environmental conditions—aiming to meet the need for “field-based data” with a single, dependable device.
