The NOAA UAS Program aims to leverage unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to address critical observation gaps in ecosystems, climate, weather, and commerce. By establishing regional testbeds, including Arctic and Pacific fields, NOAA plans to enhance climate forecasts, improve stock assessments for marine life, and ensure advanced data collection for hurricane analysis. Demonstration missions with Aerosonde UAS are designed to fill data voids in challenging storm conditions. Collaborative efforts with NASA and other organizations enhance NOAA's operational capabilities in real-time data availability.

Transcription de la présentation
  1. NOAA UAS Program CDR Philip Hall, NOAA Corps NASA Global Hawk Deputy Project Manager NOAA UAS Operations ICCAGRA Meeting October 21, 2008

  2. NOAA UAS ProgramRobbie Hood, Program Manager Mission To use UAS to fill critical gaps in the current observing system to help meet NOAA’s Mission Goals in: Vision Unmanned Aircraft Systems will revolutionize monitoring of the Earth system, much as radar and satellite technology have done in the past. • Ecosystems • Climate • Weather and Water • Commerce and Transportation

  3. Implementation Strategy: Regional UAS Testbeds

  4. Arctic TestbedGreenland Ice Sheet Melt Arctic Mission Requirements: • Reduce climate forecast uncertainty related to glacial ice-melt and its impact on sea level

  5. Arctic TestbedIce Seals Arctic Mission Requirements: b) Complete NMFS stock assessments for ice seals

  6. Pacific TestbedAtmospheric Rivers and Ghost Nets Pacific Mission Requirements: • Forecast precipitation and flooding along the West Coast with enough accuracy and lead time to enable forecast-based reservoir operations • Protect marine ecosystems within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument

  7. Gulf/Hurricane TestbedLow-altitude Hurricane winds • Primary Aerosonde UAS Demonstration Objectives • Fill critical data gaps. Provide observations from an important region of the storm that is very difficult (and dangerous) to observe. • Provide high resolution near-surface observations (V, P, T & RH)- • Ensure real-time data availability to NHC/EMC (and other interested operational centers) • Fully demonstrate the Aerosonde platform’s overall capabilities and survivability in a variety of conditions within a hurricane environment. Including missions flown at very low altitudes (<200m) in high wind conditions. • Utilize NOAA P-3 manned aircraft to further enhance the utility of UAS-Hurricane missions (e.g. vertically stacked coincident data collection).

  8. Planning of Global Hawk Tests NASA Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC) • NASA Global Hawks acquired and jointly funded/operated by NASA/NGC • NOAA (with NASA and NCAR) is building a dropsonde system • Global Pacific (GloPac) - Spring 2009

  9. Planning of Global Hawk Tests NASA Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC)

  10. Future Directions / Collaboration Opportunities • NOAA UAS Testbeds • Nov 08 - Scripps / NOAA Flux work at Vandenberg AFB • Spring 09 - Insitu Insight A-20 missions in the Bering Sea • Maritime Surveillance in Gulf and Elsewhere • NOAA / NASA Collaborations on HALE
