Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) Integration and OT&E Operational Test Plan for the Offshore Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD).
Abstract
This document provides the overall philosophy and approach for the National Airspace (NAS) Phase I Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) Integration and OT&E Operational Testing of the Offshore Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD). A total of 14 Offshore NEXRADs will be procured under this acquisition: 3 in the Caribbean, 4 in Hawaii, and seven 7 in Alaska. OT&E testing will be performed in two phases. Phase I testing will be performed on the redundant configuration in November 1994, in Kauai, Hawaii, and is described herein. Phase II testing will be performed on the Remote Monitoring Subsystem (RMS) at a later date and is not described in this document. A separate test plan and test procedures will be developed for Phase II OT&E Integration and OT&E Operational Testing. The focus of this document is on Phase I limited OT&E Integration and OT&E Operational testing of the Offshore NEXRAD. The testing is limited in nature due to the extensive testing already performed on the single-channel NEXRAD system by the Joint System Program Office (JSPO) and funding constraints placed upon the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
