Profiler
Abstract
The Profiler Virtual Module (PVM) provides meteorological (MET) data that includes wind speed, wind direction, temperature, barometric pressure, and humidity information required for use in the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS). The correctional information is necessary for precise targeting and terminal guidance to Field Artillery assets. PVM improves accuracy of predictive fires solutions and allows for first round effects on target and reduces the risk of fratricide. This capability increases the lethality of indirect fire systems such as the rocket launchers, self-propelled or towed howitzers, and mortars. FY2017 Base funding in the amount of $3.885 million supports the continued development of PVM to comply with Command Post Computing Environment (CP CE) Common Operating Environment (COE) version 3 requirements and upgrades to weather forecasting models.
