METOC Sensor Engineering
Abstract
This project provides for the engineering and manufacturing development of specialized, high resolution instrumentation systems and measurement capabilities for obtaining near real-time, in-situ meteorological and oceanographic (METOC) data in hostile, remote, and denied areas. The project's objectives are to engineer near-term future mission sensing capabilities that are intended to survive the harsh littoral and deep-strike environments and also to meet demanding requirements for timeliness and accuracy. Engineering is performed within this project to ensure that air and safety certification for deployment from fleet aircraft or ships is met and that the proper data formats are engineered for electronic communications transmissions, human interface displays, and inputs to predictive models. The major area of emphasis is the METOC Future Mission Capabilities (FMC) project. FY 2014 request provides for the continued development of advanced sensor system support hardware and software technologies for sensor deployment, data processing and performance metrics to optimize sensor performance and assess the viability of sensors and subsystems on unmanned and manned aircraft systems and autonomous undersea platforms for collection of automated METOC data and information.
