  1. Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Professional Development Center(NMOPDC)UAS Support: A Training PerspectiveWilliam StamperNMOPDD Atlantic13 March 2012 UNCLASSIFIED

  2. Introduction: Training and UAS? • Key Considerations • METOC support role WRT increased UAS presence • Training response to support requirement RQ-21A INTEGRATOR STUAS • Today’s Discussion • Forecast Considerations • Tactical Considerations • The way ahead UNCLASSIFIED

  3. Forecast Considerations • Traditional forecast parameters still apply (winds-vis-precip) • Greater forecast fidelity required • Tighter (and more) thresholds • Additional forecast considerations • Operating with other aircraft (OP zones, etc.) • Specific launch and recovery envelopes and requirements such as pitch and roll • Orbit stand-off ranges driven by the environment • UAS missions often planned far in advance UNCLASSIFIED

  4. Tactical Considerations & Training Challenges • TDAs: • Deeper understanding of sensors, systems, capabilities • AREPS/TAWS: sensor/system updates; program improvements (e.g., AREPS evap duct calc) • Other TDAs: load approval, incorporate into training • Other training and support issues/gaps • Many customers don’t grasp METOC support extent • Many METOC do not understand UAS depth • Non-POR sensors and systems (e.g., SCAN EAGLE) • UHF LOS Comms UNCLASSIFIED

  5. The Way Ahead… • Our training efforts continue • AREPS and TAWS Primer updates • Teams get flexed in our Team Trainer events • Advanced training classes in the works (?) • Deeper training on NAAPS, COAMPS, other forecast-related tools & products • Continued emphasis on forecaster interaction • Continued collaboration with key players • Software developers • UAS teams/developers/R&D UNCLASSIFIED

  6. The Way Ahead… • Continue our role as a conduit for product improvement • Assist Fleet users in getting requests to the right folks • Continue support advocacy (new sensors/systems) MQ-8B FIRESCOUT VTUAV • PDD SMEs assist with sensor/system/target updates UNCLASSIFIED

  7. Better Education Through Visualization… UNCLASSIFIED

  8. The Way Ahead… • Reach Back DOES work… • AREPS and TAWS RB has shifted (or will soon) to the FWCs in Norfolk and San Diego • FNMOC maintains some of their role • PDDs play a major part in training/sustaining the RB personnel UNCLASSIFIED

  9. A Note on Reach-Back Five Cornerstones for Effective RB Support UNCLASSIFIED

  10. Questions? UNCLASSIFIED
