Moriah Wind System
System Overview
The Moriah Wind System is designed to provide accurate wind data to the ship. The wind sensor units measure the wind in free air around the ship, and the wind processing unit presents this information in suitable formats to ship's systems such as:
  1. Command Information systems
  2. Navigation systems
  3. Weapon systems
  4. Meteorological systems
The MWS also displays this wind information, along with other ship data, on dedicated displays located at strategic points throughout the ship. The system is designed with dual redundant features for reliability.

System Components
The Moriah Wind System comprises the following components:
  1. Wind Sensor Unit (WSU)
  2. Wind Processor Unit (WPU)
  3. High End Display (HED)
  4. Low End Display(LED)
The following items may also be supplied as part of the Moriah Wind System to support specific installations:
  1. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
  2. 28VDC Power Supply Unit (PSU)
The Wind Sensor Unit (WSU) is the prime sensor unit of the system. There are up to 5 of them on any one installation. Onboard ships, they are installed on the yardarm away from any structure that may affect the unobstructed flow of wind. The number of WSUs installed in a particular system is dependent on the ship class or shore station. On aircraft carriers there is a third WSU installed on a forward mast.
