The status of the Airborne Warning and Avoidance System 3 (AWAS 3) is reported in viewgraph form. Information is given on flight tests and FAA certification. Included is a description of the flight test of a passive infrared system that achieved the first ever advanced warning of an in-flight windshear encounter. The infrared system recorded the detection of the windshear with a 35 second advance warning. The data recorded in-flight by the infrared system was later compared to and found to agree with the data recorded by the Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) and the in-situ air data.
