Kestrel Meters Bluetooth Applications Simplify Weather Tracking

Kestrel Meters Bluetooth applications have simplified weather data tracking tasks by offering the same functionality as a Kestrel Meter, now available in the field through a real-time Bluetooth connection with an Android device or tablet. The Kestrel Meters Bluetooth Applications were developed through work with several fully-integrated software partners who specialize in creating highly functional yet extremely user-friendly Android apps that work seamlessly with Kestrel Meters. Through a real-time, easy to use Bluetooth connection, users can track weather data for a variety of purposes, including shooting, Haz Mat plume modeling and fire behavior and more, without having to carry multiple devices. By taking advantage of technology already available on a Bluetooth-enabled Android device or tablet, users can quickly download Kestrel Meters Bluetooth Applications and start accessing the data-enabled solutions they need, right at their fingertips.

Using Kestrel Meters Bluetooth applications gives those out in the field a chance to wirelessly transmit data and log critical information seamlessly between a handheld Kestrel meter and an Android device. Instead of manually transferring data from a Kestrel Meter to a PC or other device, Kestrel Meters Bluetooth applications wirelessly transmit real-time data through the latest Android app technology. You don’t have to sacrifice functionality when using Kestrel Meters Bluetooth applications – all apps are developed and tested on the Android platform, trusted and proven for being reliable and powerful. There are many new Kestrel Meters Bluetooth applications coming in the future, and the following are available for download now:

 

Applied Ballistics

State of the art ballistics solver by Bryan Litz, Applied Ballistics. Calculate accurate fire control solutions for long range rifle shooting. Accounts for all major and minor trajectory variables including the use of measured G7 BC's and even the option to use custom drag curves for specific bullets. Output is available in many formats including single shot 'HUD' view, table output, graph output, and the highly effective reticle output view, in which you can see a single shot or trajectory trace in the context of a specific scope reticle which responds to magnification adjustments and 'dialing on' elevation.

Ballistic calibration feature allows user to 'train' the software to match a specific rifle based on observed impacts at long range.

The Applied Ballistics Mobile app is a professional tool intended for the serious long range shooter.

=== Feature List ===

* Firearm/ammo/target organized into savable profiles

* Bullet library with over 1,300 bullets to save you from having to look up BC information

* Custom drag curves (i.e. rather than using G1 or G7, Applied Ballistics has measured and developed specific drags for specific bullets, no other calculator does this)

* Support for multiple BCs at specified velocities (aka "stepped bcs")

* Sync your profiles to the cloud so you never have to worry about losing all of your data

* Load atmospherics based on GPS location and nearest weather station

* Load atmospherics via your Bluetooth-enabled Kestrel

WeatherBird

WeatherBird version 1.0 for Android allows for real time data transfer from your Bluetooth enabled Kestrel device to your Android phone or tablet, thus negating the need of taking a computer with you in the field. You can manually request data by physically swiping the screen, or shaking the Android device (Optional) . Data can also be streamed periodically by Polling the device at a selected time interval.

Log files from your Kestrel device can be downloaded and graphed with respect to time on the Android device. Alternatively, the log files can be emailed in comma separated format (CSV) for further analysis on any computer. WeatherBird also allows for remote memory management of your Kestrel device. You can send a request to log the current data readings to the internal memory, and you can also clear the internal memory.

All of these features and more are available through a user friendly and robust graphical interface.

Current Supported Models: K4000, K4000 NV, K4100, K4200, K4250, K4300, K4500, K4500 NV

Blueforce Shared Weather Intelligence System

The Shared Weather Intelligence System by Blueforce measures a multitude of important weather telemetry that includes wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) using a dry bulb (DB), globe temperature (GT), and relative humidity (RH) sensor. Wind speed and wind direction provide manned and unattended real-time awareness where plume intelligence is critical to life safety.

Readings from the Kestrel device are monitored in real-time using a free software plugin running with the Blueforce Tactical for Android (BTAC) product. The system automatically transmits readings via BTAC to any and all subscribed Blueforce users providing an additional layer of life safety to those who protect our cities and nation.

Supported Devices: Windows Mobile 5.x/6.x, Windows XP/Vista/7, Android 2.2, iOS

Bullet Flight L2

BulletFlight L2 - ballistic computer for Android.

This is for Level-2. There is also the more advanced Level-M (Military) version of this app which adds the ability to calculate an actual BC based on bullet drop, two velocities, or flight time. The ability to calculate bullet stability. Bullet spin drift is added to the computation, and the Coriolis effect (Earth’s rotation) may be factored in.

Knight's Armament BulletFlight is a military-grade ballistic computer that provides quick solutions in the field. BulletFlight does not only output information in table format but rather dynamically gives you the solution you need now to make that shot. Current weather conditions including temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction can be input, as well as angles to the target as measured by the built-in accelerometer. The app then provides highly detailed solutions out to 3000 meters. Your weapon profile includes your scope MOA/mRad per click, and hence when you provide a range to the target, the app will simply show how many clicks you need to change the scope by for that range and wind speed.

Sniper Calculator

This ballistic calculator was designed to be a tool for recreational long range shooters, army snipers, police snipers, law enforcement officers, hunters and others. It helps shooters calculate hold overs and scope settings necessary for accurate long range shots. A log of fired fired shots is kept to make Data On Previous Engagements (DOPE) available for a later review. Software is designed to operate on an Android platform in portrait orientation only.

External ballistics is the part of the science of ballistics that deals with the behavior of a non-powered projectile in flight. External ballistics deals with the behavior of the bullet after it exits the barrel and before it hits the target, so it lies between transitional ballistics and terminal ballistics.

Current Supported Models: K4000, K4500, K4500 NV

Features:
  • G1 - G7 drag calculation functions
  • Full external elements used in calculations
  • Spin drift and Coriolis effects calculation
  • Truing - Integrated MIL dot calculator
