STK for Live Forecasted Weather
Tony Faulds, President, Trinnovations
Pg 2 of xxAGI www.agi.com
Introduction
• Weather Sentinel – Version 1.0– Visualize real-time, historical, and predicted weather
data using STK and STK / Connect– Analyze weather data as it impacts:
• Facilities• Ground Vehicles• Aircraft• Missiles• Satellites
Pg 3 of xxAGI www.agi.com
Functionality
• Uses STK/Connect
• COM-enabled
• Imports 2 types of weather data formats:– WSR-88D Level I – GRIB (GRIdded Binary data)
• Handles 2 types of weather data:– Scalar data (e.g., temperature) – Vector data (e.g., wind velocity)
• Visualization & Analyses
• User-defined color scales and gradients
Pg 4 of xxAGI www.agi.com
Features
• 2D Visualization
• 3D Visualization
• Vehicle path visualization
• Reports
• Weather data management

0 mi/hr
Pg 7 of xxAGI www.agi.com
Vehicle Path Visualization
7000+ m
Visibility
3000 m - 7000 m500 m – 3000 m0 m – 500 m
Pg 8 of xxAGI www.agi.com
Reports
• Reporting features can be applied to vehicle paths and facilities, combining vehicle/facility properties with actual weather calculations.
• Data can be reported:– in actual inches of precipitation or visibility in meters – at each point along the vehicle path OR at the facility site over time
• Users can manipulate data using the following STK tools:– report tool– graph tool– dynamic display tool– strip chart

Weather Data Management
Pg 11 of xxAGI www.agi.com
Scenario Example
Pg 12 of xxAGI www.agi.com
Ideas for Implementation
• Mission planning (Military)– Aircraft, troops
• Facility analysis– Cloud cover
• Flight path play through– Show turbulence
Pg 13 of xxAGI www.agi.com
Future Development
• 3D Vector Analysis
• Line-of-sight calculations– Clouds
• Communications interference– Clouds– Rain
• Weather effects on the force model– Wind
Pg 14 of xxAGI www.agi.com
Conclusions
• Weather Sentinel– Historical, current, and future analysis of weather
• 4 methods to do analysis– 2D Visualization– 3D Visualization– Vehicle path visualization– Reports
• Weather data management– Store/retrieve weather data
