THOR GUARD, the leader in lightning prediction, is committed to utilize emerging technologies in the development of systems that provide automatic notification of hazardous weather conditions.

The THOR GUARD Lightning Prediction System has been manufactured in South Florida since 1976. Over the ensuing years, representing literally millions of hours of accurate and safe operations, THOR GUARD has consistently proven its reliability. THOR GUARD uses a highly sophisticated sensor and computer to measure and analyze the electrostatic field in the atmosphere. Lightning originates within this field, thus allowing THOR GUARD to make calculations predicting its occurrence, even though there may be no visible evidence of lightning. Lightning "detection"​ systems require the occurrence of an actual lightning strike before a warning is given. Many times this is just too late.

THOR GUARD is the only stand alone lightning warning device used at all National Championships conducted by the United States Golf Association, the Canadian and European Golf Tours and many local sections of the PGA of America. We are the choice of Marriott Golf, the PGA Tournament Players Clubs, ABC Television Sports, and the Atlanta Summer Olympics. The flexibility of our system not only accommodates private golf facilities needing plenty of advance warning (20 or more minutes), but also public facilities looking for only 8 to 18 minutes of warning to ensure revenue flow. 

THOR GUARD is also highly regarded and utilized by many non-golf industries as well. Some of our significant customers include American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Air Canada, United, Fed Ex, UPS, Freeport McMoRan (FMI) Mining, BHP Billiton Mining, Shell Oil, ATF, US Marine Corps, US NAVY, US ARMY, Motorola, AT&T, and over 700 universities, schools and municipalities. From airports and ski areas to the NFL and zoos, THOR GUARD can be found providing on-site, real-time lightning prediction and warning to perfection!
