Environmental & Ballistics Apps which work with Kestrel LiNK enabled Instruments
Environmental Apps
Works with Kestrel 5 series Meters and DROPS
Create mobile solutions requiring temperature, humidity, wind speed and heat stress readings.
Pendragon Forms now provides the ability to capture environmental readings from the Kestrel 5000, Kestrel 5400 and Kestrel DROP series devices and write the data directly into a custom offline mobile solution. Using the Forms interface designer, organizations can rapidly create their mobile solution and sync the data to a centralized source. Mobile device users can collect data offline after downloading forms to their devices.
The captured data can be integrated into a complete mobile workflow by displaying the meter readings, triggering events such as warnings, and more generally be recorded in context with other required mobile data such as GPS readings, photos, and environmental observations

Wizkers.io can be used for temperature and humidity, environmental and health sensors. It can log and graph a large variety of environmental sensors, even in situations with unreliable Internet connectivity.
compatible with Mac OS, Windows XP to Windows 10, Linux, Android and iOS. It even runs as a standalone server on most cloud platforms or embedded devices. In other terms, you can say goodbye to platform compatibility headaches and focus on user experience instead.

The Shared Weather Intelligence System by Blueforce measures a multitude of important weather telemetry that includes wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) using a dry bulb (DB), globe temperature (GT), and relative humidity (RH) sensor. Wind speed and wind direction provide manned and unattended real-time awareness where plume intelligence is critical to life safety.
Readings from the Kestrel device are monitored in real-time using a free software plugin running with the Blueforce Tactical for Android (BTAC) product. The system automatically transmits readings via BTAC to any and all subscribed Blueforce users providing an additional layer of life safety to those who protect our cities and nation.
Compatible with: Windows Mobile 5.x/6.x, Windows XP/Vista/7, Android 2.2, iOS
Ballistics Apps
Hornady Ballistics (4DOF)
Works with Kestrel 5 series Meters with LiNK
Hornady Ballistics features advanced 4DOF trajectory and ballistic calculations based on Doppler Radar measured bullet drag coefficient inputs. Also includes BC based calculator and ammo library.
Compatible with iOS and Android
Applied Ballistics
Works with Kestrel 5 series Meters with LiNK and DROP D3
Calculate accurate fire control solutions for long range rifle shooting. Accounts for all major and minor trajectory variables including the use of measured G7 BC's and even the option to use custom drag curves for specific bullets.
Output is available in several formats including single shot 'HUD' view, table output, graph output, and the highly effective reticle output view, in which you can see a single shot or trajectory trace in the context of a specific scope reticle which responds to magnification adjustments and 'dialing on' elevation.
Compatible with Android only
Strelok Pro
Works with Kestrel 5 series Meters with LiNK and DROP D3
Strelok PRO is a ballistic calculator that is compatible with the Kestrel DROP Wireless Data Logger . It can use G1, G7 and custom drag-functions and calculate trajectory without using ballistic coefficient.

GeoBallistics
Works with Kestrel 5 series Meters with LiNK and DROP D3
BallisticsARC is powered by an advanced 3DOF solver and includes a bullet library that is continuosly updated. We offer 3 operating modes (Map, Chart, and Comp) designed to allow users to leverage unique mission specific features.
BallisticsARC offers an option to select whether the user would like to use the compass on the Kestrel or the mobile device.
Available for iOS and Android devices.
Shooter
Works with Kestrel 5 series Meters with LiNK and DROP D3
Shooter is a highly accurate ballistics calculator for the Android mobile platform (v1.6 and higher). Shooter's primary goal is to provide accurate shot solutions quickly and easily when in the field. This is done by utilizing a proven-accurate and fast ballistics solver coupled with an advanced, intuitive user interface supporting features like firearm and ammunition profiles (so you never have to enter the same data twice) and options to use your device's hardware (GPS, Accelerometer, Compass) to help you input shot-data both quickly and accurately.
Available for iOS and Android devices.
