BriefNet is a self-contained, production system that automates the creation of finished meteorological products from raw input data, then makes those products available to end-users. The system includes browser-based technology to view the finished product.

Pilots or other end users can obtain weather information and briefings from a browser on any PC on the local area network. While briefings can still be conducted from a central location, BriefNet provides the flexibility to disseminate the information to users who may be located elsewhere.

• Password control to manage user access
• Cost-effective solution to provide pilot and dispatch briefings
• Remote user can print briefings in color on their local printer
