Future Efforts
• Development and evaluation of TAMDAR-derived uplinked weather products for flight deck display
• Human Factors / cockpit display studies• Pilot utilization• FAA certification for flight deck display of own-ship
turbulence and icing• FAA Collaborations
– FISDL, AWRP, SF21, Tech Center• New / updated aviation wx products• Development and demonstration flights of HAZMETs
via FISDL and/or Safe Flight 21 datalinks• TAMDAR on UAVs• Icing-only sensor

Future Efforts
• Development and evaluation electronic PIREPS (derived from TAMDAR data) for GA pilots
• Integration of TAMDAR with other systems for regional aircraft, evaluation, flight testing, certification
• Development of FSS user requirements• Evaluation of Electronic PIREPS disseminated to
flight service stations and weather briefers• TAMDAR-derived data display issues and
collaborative weather decision making• Development of regional aviation weather products
from mesoscale models that feature reduced grid spacing and cycle time (ingest TAMDAR data) at AWC
• Evaluation of products at AWC on N-AWIPS
