  1. STK for Live Forecasted Weather Tony Faulds, President, Trinnovations

  2. Introduction • Weather Sentinel – Version 1.0 • Visualize real-time, historical, and predicted weather data using STK and STK / Connect • Analyze weather data as it impacts: • Facilities • Ground Vehicles • Aircraft • Missiles • Satellites

  3. Functionality • Uses STK/Connect • COM-enabled • Imports 2 types of weather data formats: • WSR-88D Level I • GRIB (GRIdded Binary data) • Handles 2 types of weather data: • Scalar data (e.g., temperature) • Vector data (e.g., wind velocity) • Visualization & Analyses • User-defined color scales and gradients

  4. Features • 2D Visualization • 3D Visualization • Vehicle path visualization • Reports • Weather data management

  5. 2D Visualization Temperature 82° F 20° F

  6. 3D Visualization Wind Speed 60 mi/hr 0 mi/hr

  7. Vehicle Path Visualization Visibility 0 m – 500 m 500 m – 3000 m 3000 m - 7000 m 7000+ m

  8. Reports • Reporting features can be applied to vehicle paths and facilities, combining vehicle/facility properties with actual weather calculations. • Data can be reported: • in actual inches of precipitation or visibility in meters • at each point along the vehicle path OR at the facility site over time • Users can manipulate data using the following STK tools: • report tool • graph tool • dynamic display tool • strip chart

  9. Reports

  10. Weather Data Management

  11. Scenario Example

  12. Ideas for Implementation • Mission planning or battlefield management • Aircraft, troops • Facility or satellite analysis • Cloud cover • Flight path play through • Show turbulence

  13. Future Development • Line-of-sight calculations • Clouds • Communications interference • Clouds • Rain • Weather effects on the force model • Wind

  14. Conclusions • Weather Sentinel • Historical, current, and future analysis of weather • 4 methods to do analysis • 2D Visualization • 3D Visualization • Vehicle path visualization • Reports • Weather data management • Store/retrieve weather data
