BATTLEKING Evaluation, BK 22-91, Meteorological Sensor Package (MSP)

Abstract

Letter report covering the MSP BATTLEKING Evaluation conducted at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, 14-16 May 1991. The MSP was evaluated to determine if it could provide the data for a nine-line meteorological message and provide low- level wind data for the multiple-launch rocket system. The MSP produced a nine- line met message based on surface readings taken by the sensor assembly for wind direction, wind speed, temperature, and pressure. The MSP generated messages were compared to the meteorological data systems' messages. Although the suitability of the MSP, as an alternative to the MDS system, could not be thoroughly assessed, the MSP does provide an approximation of the current met effects as contrasted to the NATO standard of no wind direction, no wind speed, and standard temperature and pressure.
