ACTIVITIES, SCHEDULE & MILESTONES

These activities will be performed by NOAA with NASA and DOE partners, and will fulfill requirements for a number of NOAA programs. UAV platforms will be leased initially, and NOAA instruments integrated into the platform.

This is the third platform that NOAA will have proposed; the first 2 of which, Polar orbiting and GOES satellites, are successfully deployed. It is proposed that UAVs be the suborbital platform.

NOAA will develop platform sensors, and would purchase one UAV by FY10 and another in FY11.

Schedule: Demonstration projects in 05-06; Pacific pilot and Arctic demo in 07-08 supporting the International Polar Year; Pacific Experiment in 2009-2011; 2012 assessment.

Significant Milestones: FY05-06--Test different UAV platforms, sensors, test areasFY07-- Select primary platform(s) for mission tests, COEAFY08 -- Go-no go decision for NOAA to acquire and deploy UAVs based upon preceding tests and COEAFY09 – Select first of three platform(s) to acquireFY10-11-12 – Acquire three platforms, one each yearFY12 – Decide on expansion to global demonstrationFY13 – Transfer UAV platforms/sensors to operations

NOAA High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) UAV program, scheduled to test operations over the Arctic Ocean in 2008.

UAVs can fly to remote locations for up to 24 hours

Routine, in situ observations at fixed points using dropsondesand on board instruments

Will link land station observations to atmospheric observations

proposed monitoring periods -Winter -Melt season

Measurements:- Atmospheric state variables- Chemistry - Forcing

INTERNATIONAL POLAR YEAR
