LPP WX-80 is an aircraft-mounted cloud seeding system. It’s built on Stores Management System (SMS) technology and designed for controlled flare firing using both preprogrammed and manual sequences to ensure accurate dispersal of active agents. The system connects to WX-80 distribution boxes via a standardised interface to maintain reliable operation.

For enhanced safety, a release switch physically disconnects fire circuits, preventing unintended activation. Additionally, a logging function records flare deployment locations for detailed post-flight analysis. The pilot selects flare type, row, and quantity via the WX-80 control panel, which commands the distribution box to trigger flare racks. Preprogrammed sequences automate deployment at set intervals, streamlining operations and increasing operational efficiency.

The underlying SMS technology is also used by LPP for aircraft weapon carriage, release, and launch.
