  2. History IWEDA (Integrated Weather Effects Decision Aid) • Initially developed by ARL for the Integrated Meteorological System (IMETS) circa 1990 • IWEDA v2 • minor improvements • accredited AF rule set • accredited & extended Army rule set 2006 • Centralized Rules Data Base (CRDB) established • IWEDA v3 • DCGS-A weather • available on the Joint Environmental Toolkit (~FY12) • mission oriented • highly detailed UNCLASSIFIED

  3. History (cont’d) • MyWIDA v1 • laptop version of IWEDA v2 2010 • available now • MyWIDA v2 • web-service or stand-alone • available end of FY12 • integrated Atmospheric Impacts Routing (AIR)* • Excel formatted rules * FY13 availability UNCLASSIFIED

  4. RULES • Compares critical thresholds (rules) against forecast for determination of weather impacts on various systems (weapons, sensors, personnel, sub-systems) Threshold criteria for MyWIDA rules • Original rules contained in the CRDB • military systems FOUO • Versions under development • Dept. of Homeland Security • Civilian UNCLASSIFIED

  5. GEN II – MyWIDA v2 Addressing new needs Providing a Customized Capability to Determine Critical Weather Impacts for Field Operations • Portable • Web Service / Web App • Flexible • customizable • rules • Excel format • CRDB (available on AKO) • user input allowed and saved locally • forecast availability • AFWA / GFS or WRF • NCEP / WRF • AFWA / WRE-N* • DPG / 4DWX • AFCCC / Climatological* • FNMOC / NOGAPS* • UKMO* • 3D/4D visualizations via Google Earth • New apps such as ground/aviation weather routing tools (AIR) • Data formats aligning with industry standards (XML, KML, etc.) * FY13 availability UNCLASSIFIED

  6. MyWIDA v2.1 Web Services • Area Of Interest Service (AOIS) – Allows user to request forecast gridded weather model data for a specific region and time duration. • Threshold Evaluation Service (TES) – Evaluates an environmental threshold (e.g., wind speed > 15 kts) against a grid of environmental data and returns the results of 0 (false) or 1 (true) and are eventually translated into red/amber/green UNCLASSIFIED

  7. MyWIDA v2.1 Web Services • Rules Evaluation Service (RES) – Evaluates a system rule (one or more thresholds) against a grid of environmental data and returns the impact level (e.g., marginal or severe) • Impact Overlay Service (IOS) – Creates a Keyhole Markup Language (KML) string from a grid of impact level(s) for display via a map server (e.g., Google Earth, OpenLayers, etc.) in 2D or 3D UNCLASSIFIED

  8. Area Of Interest Service (AOIS) -20.0 -78.0 -10.0 -60.0 UNCLASSIFIED

  9. Area Of Interest Service (AOIS) 3-02 3-02 3-02 -20.0 3-02 -78.0 3-02 -10.0 -60.0 UNCLASSIFIED

  10. MyWIDA v2.1 Application GUI UNCLASSIFIED

  11. MyWIDA v2.1 3D View 3D Visualization of Impacts for 2 layers via Google Earth UNCLASSIFIED

  12. MyWIDA: GEN IICustomization • Some situations/equipment require forecast resolution not currently available • MyWIDA v2 will allow a user to “fat finger” input data • Allows for real-time response Can be supplied with custom-tailored rule sets for special users/applications (e.g., Aerostat, UBE, IED, etc. rules) UNCLASSIFIED

  13. Summation • MyWIDA: A step beyond IWEDA • Web Service / Web App • Weather Routing Tool (Aviation + Ground) • Rules in Excel format • ability to modify/add rules & assets • ability to save rules locally • user defined thresholds GUI • optional accesses of CRDB • Rules weighting scheme • JMBL pull & ingest forecast grids • WRF, GFS, WRE-N, 4DWX, NOGAPS, UKMO • Multiple users • Multiple AOIs • V&V via Network Integration Evaluation
