RF Performance Predictions for Real Time Shipboard Applications

Abstract

The specific technical objectives are to 1) develop a method to extract rainfall data from the tactical scans of the SPS-48 radar and provide the rain data in a form suitable for propagation models such as the Earth-to-Satellite Propagation Model with METOC (ESPM2) and the Advanced Propagation Model (APM); and 2) modify the current statistics-based rain attenuation model within the ESPM2 and the APM to ingest real time rainfall rate data obtained from shipboard radar (SPS-48 initially).
