This report summarizes current processes and information sources used when convective weather impacts Air Traffic Control (ATC) operations at the Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC) and Kansas City Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC). In addition, user needs for convective weather forecast products are presented. ACT-32O collected information from both facilities through site visits and interviews during the early summer of 2000. Based upon collected information, it is recommended that the integration of a convective weather forecast capability, for example, the National Convective Weather Forecast (NCWF), into the Traffic Situation Display (TSD) be investigated. In addition, further research should be conducted to extend the forecase period of current automated forecast products.

This Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) describes the Test and Evaluation (T & E) processes which will be used to ensure the Weather and Radar Processor (WARP) system meets the requirements allocated to the project in the NAS-SS-1OOO, volumes I, II, and V, the NAS-SR-1OOO, and the WARP System Specification, FAA-E-To Be Determined (TBD). This TEMP defines test strategy, test requirements, and organizational roles and responsibilities and is developed in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order 1810.4B and FAA-STD-O24a. This version of the TEMP addresses the testing requirements for the first two stages of WARP. This TEMP will be updated with additional detail when the WARP program Stage 1, 2, and 3 NAS Change Proposals (NCP) are developed and as the program progresses through the KDP 3 and KDP 4 phases. The original TEMP and its revisions will be submitted for approval by the Test Policy Rules Committee (TPRC). A WARP system will be deployed in all Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC) and at the Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC). It is an Non-developmental Item (NDI)-based automated interactive meteorological data and information processing service that will serve as the primary source of real-time tactical and strategic weather data for air traffic controllers, traffic management unit (TMU) coordinators and area supervisors, meteorologists, and pilots. The WARP system will provide real-time mosaicked WSR-88D products to the air traffic controllers.
