The DWD wants to replace AMDA I/II systems used in 182 full-time measurement fields with MODES H systems. In addition, there are a few additional stations, circulation systems and laboratory and test systems, so that the total number amounts to 215 MODES-H systems. In addition, an additional 10 prototypes are required and spare parts worth about 10 systems are to be retrieved over the contract period.
