About this eBook
The work described in this report is in support of MAC SON 508-78, Pre-Strike Surveillance and Reconnaissance System (PRESSURS), which has identified deficiencies in the Air Force's ability to acquire meteorological observations in uncontrolled and hostile airspace. Primary requirements include temperature, pressure, humidity, winds, cloud field parameters, and visibility. Suitable sensors are identified and evaluated for deployment with various scenarios, that is, remotely-piloted vehicle, dropsonde, and ground implantation. Where deficiencies in the state-of-the-art exist, programs were initiated for the development of new instrumentation, and where necessary, models were constructed for translation of sensor output into useful operational weather information.
