Overview of NOAA UAS Requirements and Capabilities Database

This document provides a comprehensive overview of the NOAA Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Requirements and Capabilities Database developed by TriVector Services, Inc. It details critical observation requirement categories such as location, minimum coverage area, survey frequency, season of opportunity, accuracy, precision, resolution, and operational readiness. The database, created using FileMaker Pro, includes extensive information on vehicles, sensors, and mission requirements, offering valuable insights into UAS mission and system development for effective data collection and analysis.

  2. UAS Mission and System Development

  3. Observing Requirement Categories • Location– The general area where the measurements are required, also includes altitude of the measurement (i.e. in situ measurements in a tropical cyclone). • Minimum Coverage Area – (nm2)Required area of coverage. May be a subset of the location (i.e. for counting mammals, one may make some assumptions about the population distribution that allows them to survey a small area and extrapolate to estimate the total number of mammals) • Survey Frequency – (daily, monthly, yearly) • Season of Opportunity – (i.e. fall, hurricane season, any time) • Measurement Requirements • Accuracy/Precision/Resolution • Sampling Rate • Measurement Resolution– Distance Between Measurements (vertical/horizontal), Image Resolution • Data Availability/Delay– Real time data, maximum data delay. • Operational Readiness – Maximum allowable time to get to the measurement location. • Environment – The environment in which the vehicle/payload must perform it’s mission. • Coverage Rate – Coverage Area divided by Elapsed Time (nm2/hr).
