The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Lincoln Laboratories (MIT-LL), operating in support of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Terminal Radar Program has developed a prototype Wind Shear Processor (WSP) modification to interface with Airport Surveillance Radars (ASR) 8 and 9. The WSP enables the ASR radars to automatically detect low altitude wind shear phenomena such as microbursts and gust fronts. This plan describes the methods, procedures, roles, and responsibilities in evaluating the operational suitability and effectiveness of an ASR-9 with the WSP modification in the high and dry climate of Albuquerque, NM. The suitability evaluation is limited to the performance of the WSP's displays in the human factors environment of the Air Traffic Control (ATC) Tower and Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON). ASR Wind Shear Processor (ASR-WSP), Human Factors Evaluation ATC Tower/TRACON, Microbursts and gust fronts.
