Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) Operational Air Traffic Control Evaluation for the Prototype Airport Surveillance Radar Wind Shear Processor (ASR-WSP) at Albuquerque International Airport

Abstract

This report details the results of the Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) Operational test of the prototype Airport Surveillance Radar Wind Shear Processor (ASR-WSP). The ASR-WSP evaluation was conducted at the Albuquerque International Airport (ABQ) during the period August 2 to September 2, 1993. The objective of the OT&E Operational Test was to obtain Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) air traffic controller reaction to the prototype ASR-WSP weather data and display equipment. Questionnaire forms were used to obtain responses from supervisors and controllers relative to the operational suitability and effectiveness of the displays and data. This report includes the supervisors' and controllers' evaluation of the quality and quantity of the information provided by the ASR-WSP on the two displays; the Geographical Situation Display (GSD) and the Ribbon Display Terminal (RDT).
