Description
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking proposals for innovative research, solutions, and commercial technologies to advance the National Airspace System (NAS) capabilities. The agency is interested in various areas, including convective weather, clouds, cloud ceiling, and visibility, icing weather diagnostic and forecasting, turbulence, space weather aviation, model development and enhancement, weather observation research, and more. The goal is to enhance aviation safety, efficiency, and effectiveness by improving weather forecasting, observation, and prediction capabilities. The proposals should address specific areas of interest, such as developing advanced weather forecasting models, improving turbulence prediction, and enhancing space weather information for aviation decision-making.
• Convective weather research and development to improve detection and forecasting capabilities
• Clouds, cloud ceiling, and visibility research to enhance diagnostic and predictive capabilities
• Icing weather diagnostic and forecasting to improve awareness of hazardous icing conditions
• Turbulence research to enhance observations and forecasting for strategic and tactical use
• Space weather aviation research to improve space weather information for aviation decision-making
• Model development and enhancement to support the transition from legacy models to the unified Rapid Refresh Forecast System
• Weather observation research to integrate new sensor technologies and evolving user requirements
