About GAMIC
GAMIC GmbH was founded in 1988 by Dr.-Ing. Martin Malkomes in Aachen as a company for meteorological signal processing systems, and has since been developing, producing and distributing weather radar hardware and software for projects worldwide. The portfolio includes complete X-band Doppler weather radar systems in magnetron and solid-state versions with single or dual polarisation (GMWR-25-DP, GMWR-1000-SST, GMWR-25-WS, GWSR) as well as the digital IF signal processors ENIGMA IV, ENIGMA V and GWSP. In addition, the company offers the Frog-Muran software suite for radar control, maintenance, product generation and visualisation, plus solutions for sensor fusion and networking as well as radar components and subsystems. The offering is rounded off by custom solutions and consulting in radar and microwave engineering, site planning and installation, network and data security, meteorology, and RAMS/MTBF/MTTR studies. Manufacturing takes place at the headquarters in Aachen; the certificate scope covers the development, production and marketing of radar processors, software and radar systems. Customers come from meteorology and hydrology, aviation, civil protection, agriculture, research and early warning systems.
