5. Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology OFCM 5 Assessment of MPAR Capability Background WG/MPAR challenges to establishing requirements: Number of agencies and relationship Different agency definitions and processes Different potential role of MPAR in terms of meeting discrete versus broad needs Different level of understanding of potential MPAR capabilities Lack of the right resources to do the work

6. Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology OFCM 6 Assessment of MPAR Capability Background Action Item from MPAR Symposium II: Mission needs assessment Identify current radar-related shortfalls and needed improvements Consider both technology / equipment and services

7. Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology OFCM 7 Assessment of MPAR Capability Approach Start with potentially easier to define needs: FAA Replacement of ASRs and TDWR Replacement of long range radars (?)

8. Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology OFCM 8 Assessment of MPAR Capability Approach (Cont’d) Address more complex needs: NWS weather surveillance CORL & Weather Radar 20-Year Vision Planning Report Weather Service Improvements diagram Homeland/National Defense Air Surveillance: IS CONOPS, NORAD input, other available data Air Surveillance Service Improvements diagram

11. Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology OFCM Assessment of MPAR Capability 11 FAA ASR & TDWR Needs DoD LRR Needs NWS Weather Observing Needs (CORL) DHS Surveillance Needs

12. Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology OFCM Assessment of MPAR Capability 12 FAA ASR TDWR Needs DoD LRR Needs NWS Weather Observing Needs (CORL) DHS Surveillance Needs MPAR Capabilities

13. Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology OFCM Assessment of MPAR Capability 13 FAA ASR TDWR Needs DoD LRR Needs NWS Weather Observing Needs (CORL) DHS Surveillance Needs MPAR Capabilities

14. Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology OFCM 14 Approach Not creating a programmatic document Every agency has a different acquisition system May not have the same documents Even if they have the same documents, the requirements for those documents will not be the same Avoid using a standard name for product Could follow an agency’s template Assessment of MPAR Capability

15. Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology OFCM 15 Approach (Cont’d) At some point a program office will get agency agreement on a procurement model At this point we should create documentation that meets our needs Understanding what agencies need Helping define technical challenges and prioritize work (input to R&D Plan) Educating decision makers on what needs MPAR can meet Assessment of MPAR Capability

16. Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology OFCM 16 Recommendation Task WG/MPAR to Consider and define the potential applications for needs assessment Determine the type of needs information that would suit those applications Gather the needs information Assess the capability of MPAR to meet the multi-agency needs Assessment of MPAR Capability
