NASA Clipper Tactical Wind System

The output data is in the NMEA 0183 format and can be used to drive any compatible display that utilises the MWV sentence. True wind display unit - The Clipper True Wind Display shows apparent wind speed and direction and, when connected to a log or GPS, it can also show true wind speed and direction.
