High Definition Sounding System Test and Integration with NASA Atmospheric Science Program Aircraft

Abstract

The major goal of this effort is Integration Test and Evaluation of the High Definition Sounding System (HDSS) on NASA high altitude Airborne Science Program platforms, specifically the NASA P-3 and NASA WB-57. When the HDSS is certified by NASA for reliable routine flight, the outcome will be a new capability to deploy up to 90 eXpendable Digital Dropsondes (XDDs) on demand into tropical cyclones via the WB-57.
