New partnership with NOAA

Exosens signed a new partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

PRESS RELEASE
QUÉBEC, CANADA– JANUARY 25, 2026

Exosens signed a partnership with NOAA to develop new atmospheric profiling applications using our atmospheric sounder, ASSIST II.
ASSIST II will be deployed at the National Weather Services (NWS) test site in Virginia in early 2026 for operational validation.
The project will enhance cloud base detection and gas profiling capabilities (CO, O₃, CH₄, NO).

Exosens, a high-tech company focused on providing mission and performance-critical amplification, detection and imaging technology, is proud to announce a new collaboration with the United States’ National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Signed in December 2025, this new project called CRADA, for Cooperative Research and Development Agreement, will use our ASSIST II to develop new meteorological applications and new algorithms to generate atmospheric profiling.

Phase one of this new partnership will be the deployment of the ASSIST II on the National Weather Service base in Virginia. Our technology will be on-site for around 10 months to validate operational applications, as well as new software functionalities for TROPoe atmospheric profiling to be included in the ASSIST II.

This new partnership will help the NOAA adding new operational functionality, such as determine the cloud base required by atmospheric models and develop a new algorithm for gas profiling such as carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O₃), methane (CH₄), and nitric oxides (NO).

With this announcement, Exosens reaffirms its commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that help better understand the environment and meteorological changes.
