Abstract

The Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) Controller Equipment (ACE) system is a display system that provides weather products from the ASOS and other weather product systems to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Control Towers (ATCTs), Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON), and other selected locations. Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) of the ACE was conducted in four phases, commencing at the FAA William J.
