Weather Systems Processor (WSP) Demonstration Validation (DEMVAL) Plan (Phase I and Phase II).

Abstract

Research and development of the Weather Systems Processor (WSP) is being accomplished in an effort to satisfy one of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) performance goals in the area of System Efficiency, which is to develop and demonstrate the capability of new systems to decrease the rate of delays due to weather by 10 percent by the year 2002. This plan addresses the Massachusetts Institute of Technology/Lincoln Laboratory (MIT/LL) Demonstration Validation (DEMVAL) of the test bed WSP at their Terminal Radar Development Facility (TRDF) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This DEMVAL began in November 1995, and will continue through 1997. The purpose of this plan is to provide an overview of the MIT/LL DEMVAL to assist the FAA with its DEMVAL monitoring responsibilities, and with future WSP Test and Evaluation (T&E) activities, including Development Test and Evaluation (DT&E) and Production Acceptance Test and Evaluation (PAT&E) monitoring and System Test conduct.
