An adjunct weather radar system based on a modular software design

A general purpose software-based weather system was developed to support various operations at the Kwajalein Missile Range. This system, which was primarily developed for the C-band ALCOR radar, can be easily ported to work at other sensors by changing only the data input routine. The system offers greater flexibility in weather sensing and provides numerous specific features that aid mission planners to making critical go/no-go decisions.
