Adapt and update RAL’s Microburst Algorithm Detection (MAD) for use with ARC’s modern Doppler Weather Radars. Develop new displays to convey the wind shear alerts to pilots using standard FAA display formats, alerting, strategies and terminology.
This project is in support of an ARC contract to provide an operational wind shear (and general weather surveillance) radar for Rwanda.
The project is sometimes referred as Rwanda Radar.
