The objective of this proposed R&D program is to adapt and enhance the ClimaCell commercial high-resolution microweather end-user software product functionality, weather data visualization features and proprietary weather sensing and modeling to meet the particular needs of the Air Force weather community. This R&D effort will require the identification and training of a diverse group of USAF weather end-users to test and evaluate the current browser-based and mobile application versions of the ClimaCell HyperCast Aviation weather dashboard and alert system. The software onboard training will be a combination of webinars and on-site sessions where permitted. ClimaCell will provide end-users ongoing technical support of the software and meteorological services. The user feedback and enhancement requests resulting from the AF end-user evaluation of the software will be captured and prioritized based on an assessment of the benefits it delivers across AF weather users as well as the level of effort to implement the feature and to integrate it into the AF weather systems. To complete this R&D project, ClimaCell will conduct the software development and quality assurance work to deliver a production version of the software that is accepted by the AF weather community.
