Future Efforts

• Development and evaluation of TAMDAR-derived uplinked weather products for flight deck display

• Human Factors / cockpit display studies• Pilot utilization• FAA certification for flight deck display of own-ship

turbulence and icing• FAA Collaborations

– FISDL, AWRP, SF21, Tech Center• New / updated aviation wx products• Development and demonstration flights of HAZMETs

via FISDL and/or Safe Flight 21 datalinks• TAMDAR on UAVs• Icing-only sensor

Future Efforts

• Development and evaluation electronic PIREPS (derived from TAMDAR data) for GA pilots

• Integration of TAMDAR with other systems for regional aircraft, evaluation, flight testing, certification

• Development of FSS user requirements• Evaluation of Electronic PIREPS disseminated to

flight service stations and weather briefers• TAMDAR-derived data display issues and

collaborative weather decision making• Development of regional aviation weather products

from mesoscale models that feature reduced grid spacing and cycle time (ingest TAMDAR data) at AWC

• Evaluation of products at AWC on N-AWIPS
