The Shared Mobile Atmospheric Research and Teaching Radar (SMART-R) is a new mobile radar built with partners Texas A&M University, Texas Tech University and the University of Oklahoma. SMART-R is the first mobile 5 cm radar in the United States. It was designed using the latest computer and radar signal processing hardware and software. With the capability to see through an entire thunderstorm or hurricane, it can observe precipitation over a larger area than other mobile radars.
