Research includes particularly task solving in defence research and crises management and responding to current problems connected to applying geoinformatic technologies into command and control systems and simulation of atmospheric processes for giving precision to weather forecasts. The department also conducts research related to the influence of terrain and hydrometeorological conditions on the activity of armed forces, application of satellite methods for dangerous meteorological phenomena forecasts, application of global navigation systems for positional service within the ACR.  The department also takes part in the development and utilization of the ALADIN numerical model to provide meteorological support of missions abroad. The department collaborates particularly with technically based institutes and universities, the Military Geographic and Hydrometeorological Office and the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute in research and development tasks.
