Importance of Importance of Real TimeReal Time Weather Weather

• From FY90-98, weather related mishaps to the aviation community* were found to have caused:

– Produced 100 deaths - 11 fatalities per year

– $69 million in damage to aviation forces

• A temporal-based weather display would provide an invaluable wartime advantage over the enemy and allow for safer peacetime and wartime operations.

– Increased sortie rate

– Better training opportunities

• US Marine Corps support – Expeditionary Capability

– Small footprint

– Mobile
