  1. Steve Schotz Office of Science and Technology/National Weather Service BMH Project Manager/AWIPS Deputy Program Manager for Product Improvement October 21, 2014 NOAA Weather Radio/Broadcast Message Handler (NWR/BMH)

  2. Agenda • BMH Scope and Benefits • NWR System Overview • Project Schedule • Questions

  3. BMH Scope and Benefits • Objective: • Migrate NOAA Weather Radio (NWR), Console Replacement System (CRS) functionality into AWIPS II infrastructure • Benefits: • Leverages AWIPS Infrastructure and support to improve BMH system robustness, availability and maintainability vs. CRS • Mitigates risk of depending on aged, custom CRS H/W and S/W • Enables extensibility to allow for future enhanced capabilities • Transition to BMH transparent to NWR end users except potentially improved voice quality

  4. NWR Overview • NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) • 24/7 broadcast of NWS and Federal products • ~1000 NWR transmitters in use • NWR receivers (radios) allow anyone to listen • Hazard display • Alert tones (1050 Hz) • Auto on when critical warning products are broadcast

  5. Console Replacement System (CRS) Currently used at WFOs 15-20 year old hardware and software Maintainability challenges Not extensible CRS is outside AWIPS boundary NWR Overview

  6. CRS Hardware (Legacy System)

  7. BMH Hardware 100 megabit Switch

  8. Makes use of AWIPS II architecture redundancy/failover (parallel ops on PX) staff will be familiar with AWIPS II less training flexible/extensible/expandable Leverage existing AWIPS II code/packages qpid Alertviz logging GUIs/CAVE Plug-in development NWR/BMH Software Design

  9. Software Development: January, 2015 System Testing: January – March 2015 Operational Test and Evaluation (OTE): April – July 2015 Begin Deployment: September 2015 BMH Schedule
