Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) Build 5 Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP)

Abstract

This document presents the Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR), Build 5 enhancement, Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP). This Build 5 TEMP identifies Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) objectives, responsibilities, resources, schedules, and critical test issues. The Build 5 enhancement consists of a Build 5A which provides connectivity to the Low Level Wind Shear Alert System (LLWAS) II, and a Build 5B which provides connectivity to an LLWAS III. Build 5A displays LLWAS II wind data along with TDWR hazardous weather data on TDWR Geographic Situation Displays (GSD) and Ribbon Display Terminals (RDT). Build 5B provides additional capabilities such as having a Microburst Shear Integration Algorithm (MSIA), TDWR/LLWAS III Integration Algorithm, 15-day archiving and TDWR, LLWAS II and LLWAS III data integration.
