Evaluation of the NAS En Route Stage A Model 3D, Weather and Fixed Map Unit.
Abstract
The first preproduction model of the Model 3D production weather equipment, identified as a Weather and Fixed Map Unit (WFMU) was installed at the Elwood, New Jersey, radar facility along with a modification to the Production Common Digitizer (PCD) for generating contours around weather clutter. The WFMU processed contours at two intensity levels at controlled maximum range and azimuth intervals which were formulated into weather map messages and transmitted over modems to the operational facility. Several technical and operational tests were performed to assure interface with the PCD and to verify conformance with the specification. (Author)
