What We Do

Recast Systems is a weather-technology company developing an integrated system for precision weather modification. It currently uses cloud seeding and aims to help ease drought, floods, and extreme weather. Its approach combines traceable biological seeding materials, atmospheric sensors and other hardware, AI weather simulations, and field operations. By feeding measurements and mission results back into its models, Recast seeks to quantify cloud-seeding impacts and make each operation more precise.
