Advanced Weather Sentinel: Visualizing Real-Time & Forecasted Weather Data with STK

Weather Sentinel, led by Tony Faulds from Trinnovations, is a powerful tool for visualizing real-time, historical, and predicted weather data using STK and STK/Connect. It allows for in-depth analysis of how weather impacts various operations, including facilities, ground vehicles, aircraft, and more. With features like 2D and 3D visualizations, vehicle path tracking, and comprehensive reporting tools, users can manage and manipulate weather data effectively. Future developments will enhance features for line-of-sight calculations and communication interference, crucial for mission planning and battlefield management.

Presentation Transcript

  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
