DPG Meteorology utilizes a meteorological tower network to support various tests and the collected data are used daily for UAV aviation forecasting on the range. The surface tower network is an important tool for monitoring of incoming storms. The network requires specialized equipment to operate, collect and transfer data to the weather station. The MET network includes more than 100 towers with wind monitors, temperature probes, and numerous other sensors. CS110 EFMs are used for measurements of local electric fields that indicate potential lightning in the vicinity and is crucial for safe operations at DPG (especially when working with explosives.) This contract will enable the purchase of additional hardware, including new temperature and relative humidity probes, data loggers, cables, etc. to upgrade and keep running the PWIDS, SAMS and mini-SAMS tower networks that work to monitor weather in real time to support DoD testing.
