Spire Global is targeting the aviation market with a new analytics service launch. Spire is rolling out Aircraft Exposure Analytics, an aviation solution that enables users to quantify aircraft-level exposure to hazardous weather conditions using real flight trajectories and global weather alerts. Spire Global announced the product launch, July 10.

Spire’s Aircraft Exposure Analytics combines the Spire’s global multi-source ground and space-based Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) flight data with Significant Meteorological Information (SIGMET) alerts to deliver environmental exposure metrics for each aircraft. By overlaying flight paths with real-time and historical weather hazard data, the company says Aircraft Exposure Analytics identifies when and where individual aircraft have flown through conditions such as turbulence, icing, thunderstorms, volcanic ash, tropical cyclones, and more.

Spire’s Aircraft Exposure Analytics supports a range of aviation use cases from more precise condition-based predictive maintenance planning to better fatigue monitoring and inspection scheduling.

“Unlike traditional systems that infer risk based on routing or general forecasts, Aircraft Exposure Analytics uses ground and space-based data to deliver precise, per-aircraft insights. By combining real flight trajectories with trusted weather alerts and tying them to verified airframe identifiers, we’re offering a high-resolution, data-driven understanding of how weather impacts aircraft condition, updated daily,” Philip Plantholt, general manager of Aviation, Spire, said in a statement.
