What Is Netsys International (netsys.aero)?

Updated

Netsys International is a software vendor that builds turnkey meteorological and aviation solutions. Its product line covers the full path from raw weather data to finished, distributable products: chart generation, forecasting tools, data management, satellite reception, briefing delivery, and standards-based information exchange. If you work in a meteorological office, an aviation authority, or an airline environment and need to turn weather data into operational output, that is the audience these products are aimed at.

What the company does

Netsys describes itself as supplying "one-stop complete solutions" to the Meteorological and Aviation industries globally, with the stated goal that "with us weather becomes clear." The work splits into two connected halves:

  • Meteorological data handling — ingesting numerical weather prediction (NWP) output, observations, and satellite data.
  • Aviation-facing products — turning that data into ICAO-compliant charts, forecasts, and pre-flight briefings that pilots and forecasters can actually use.

Product line at a glance

Product What it does
nsCHARTS Creates charts and animations from NWP output (GRIB), WAFC BUFR, observations, and other data. Originally built to automate ICAO-compliant aviation charts; also suited to web charts and regular distribution.
nsFORECAST A forecaster toolset for visualizing and interacting with meteorological data across a broad range of data types.
nsMHS A weather-data management tool covering all aspects of the WMO World Weather Watch, designed to integrate into aviation enterprise environments.
nsSAT A satellite data reception server (for example for EUMETSAT) plus visualization clients connected to that server.
nsGIB Generates chart and information briefing products and delivers them to a wide variety of destinations. Forms the core of the NetSys WAFC SADIS/WIFS workstation package and forecaster suite.
nsWEBPIB An online Pre-Flight Briefing Portal with an accompanying Flight Folder Engine, aimed at aviation authorities and meteorological offices so pilots can get weather and related data wherever they are.
nsSWIM A System Wide Information Management solution compliant with the SWIM Technical Infrastructure, built to exchange Weather Information Exchange Model (WXXM) data under ICAO's SWIM framework for interoperable meteorological information sharing in air traffic management (ATM).

How the pieces fit together

The products are not isolated tools; they map onto a workflow.

  1. Acquire and manage data. nsSAT receives satellite data; nsMHS manages weather data across the World Weather Watch.
  2. Analyze and forecast. nsFORECAST gives forecasters an interactive environment over that data.
  3. Produce output. nsCHARTS turns model and observation data into charts; nsGIB assembles chart and briefing products and routes them to destinations.
  4. Deliver to end users. nsWEBPIB puts briefings in front of pilots online.
  5. Exchange with other systems. nsSWIM handles standardized WXXM data exchange for ATM interoperability.

Who it is for

The stated target users are meteorological and aviation organizations worldwide — meteorological offices, aviation authorities, and enterprise aviation environments. The recurring themes across the product descriptions are ICAO compliance, WMO World Weather Watch coverage, and seamless integration into existing aviation enterprise environments, which tells you the products are positioned for institutional, operational deployments rather than individual use.

What to check before evaluating

The site presents product capabilities and positioning but does not publish pricing, licensing terms, or deployment requirements on the pages reviewed. If you are assessing fit, the practical next step is to contact Netsys directly through the site's contact channel and ask about:

  • Which products cover your specific data formats (GRIB, BUFR, WXXM) and sources
  • Compliance requirements you must meet (ICAO chart specs, SWIM Technical Infrastructure)
  • Integration constraints with your existing meteorological or ATM systems
  • Deployment model and support arrangements

Because the product set is modular, the relevant question is usually not "should we buy Netsys" but "which combination of nsCHARTS, nsFORECAST, nsMHS, nsGIB, nsWEBPIB, and nsSWIM matches our data sources and the products we need to publish."
