EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
D 2.2.1 is the deliverable of FLYSAFE WP 2.2.1. It describes and specifies
- the WIMS wake vortex (WV), clear air turbulence (CAT), in-flight icing (ICE), and thunderstorm (CB),
- the routine weather parameters and products (RWPP),
- the ground weather processor (GWP), including data communication, fusion and consolidation.
D 2.2.1 concretises all respective function interfaces and outlines the evaluation strategy for the FLYSAFE platform and target products (to be detailed and specified in WP 2.2.8).
The document continues and builds on DI 1.2.2 as it reviews and completes the descriptions of the weather related functions from the ground (D1.2.1-2) and the interface control document (DI 1.2.1-2). Further sources of the document are the Internal Deliverables DI 2.2.3-1, DI 2.2.4-1, DI 2.2.5-1 and DI 2.2.7-1. (A document DI 2.2.2-1 does not exist as its content would be identical to Chapter 3 of this document.)
D 2.2.1 shall function as the reference document for the development of the WIMS (in WPs 2.2.2 to 2.2.5), the routine weather parameters and products (WP 2.2.6), the ground weather processor and the communication means from WIMS to GWP and from GWP to the cockpit and to other potential users as ATM, AOC and airports (WP 2.2.7, 2.3.5, 2.3.6).
The document shall further enable other partners in the project (in particular from WP 5 and 6) to understand the functionality of the WIMS, RWPP and GWP and to perform their work in building up the tools, software, interfaces, data fusion and link realisations, HMI, etc in the NG-ISS. Nevertheless, specific peculiarities of the products developed in WP 2.2 shall be described in the respective Internal Deliverables and used for bilateral explanations and clarifications with the partners.
D 2.2.1 describes the “state-of-the-art” of the work performed so far in FLYSAFE (Sept 2006, T0+20). It is envisaged that the specifications and interface descriptions in this document will indeed be used and realised when the products of WP 2.2 are being developed. Nevertheless, smaller changes and adaptations could emerge. If larger changes are expected they are stated in the respective Sections and Chapters.
