Integration and Certification
The
AeroTech E-Turb Hazard Prediction Algorithm and the display
threshold criteria must be installed into the software of a
pulsed Doppler capable airborne weather radar. The Hazard
Prediction Algorithm must be able to, in real-time, access
aircraft ship system information including aircraft
altitude, weight, and true airspeed. If multiple levels of
magenta are required to represent different levels of
turbulence, the radar display generation program would
require modification in order to display both speckled and
solid magenta.
The FAA is
currently developing Minimum Operating Performance Standards
(MOPS) and a Technical Standard Order (TSO) for Enhanced
Turbulence equipped weather radars. The performance
capabilities of AeroTech’s E-Turb Hazard Prediction
Algorithm that were documented during the evaluation in the
Rockwell Collins’s WXR-2100 exceed the minimum requirement
of the MOPS being developed.
