Since the full deployment of ground-based systems like LLWAS and Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR), coupled with improved pilot training and onboard warning systems, there have been no commercial wind shear-caused airline crashes in the United States for over 25 years.

In 1997, NCAR began the development of the Juneau Airport Wind System (JAWS) with the goals of improving flight operational safety and safe access to the airport. JAWS was fully tested and put into operational use by the FAA in 2012.
