Setting Values for TDWR/LLWAS 3 Integration Parameters

Abstract

In 1993 the FAA will begin deploying the Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) at selected airports in the United States. Forty-five TDWRs will be collocated with LLWAS 3 systems, and the FAA has decided that all TDWRs collocated with LLWAS 3 systems must be integrated with LLWAS 3 prior to commissioning. The algorithm chosen to perform this integration must be supplied with a set of site-specific parameters. This report gives guidance on how to set the values of theme integration parameters....
