Abstract: This paper deals with the design of a system for decisional support dedicated to an anti-hail system. It is proposed a specific system for Romania anti-hail network, which completes the existing systems with specific information in order to identify the best solutions for both coordination and launch. The main topics refer to the system structure, information handled in the system and reconstruction of a signal based on Bayes criterion. The system comprises two main components: a subsystem of launch decision and a subsystem for assisting the launch decision. In order to achieve this system, the following important issues are considered: the use of communication via GPRS, monitoring the parameters throughout all operating period, log-values, status and alarms, operator actions logs, friendly graphical interface and the generation of tabular and graphical reports for any period. The system enables an increased efficiency by shortening the time for action, a good organization and a high degree of security. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013
