This is a study of feasibility of Using Compass Cope RPV's to perform aerial weather reconnaissance missions. The mission is defined in terms of vehicle performance and meteorological measurement requirements. The Compass Cope RPV is studied for performance. The availability of meteorological sensing equipment is reviewed for compatibility with the Compass Cope vehicle. Emphasis is on the need for a long range data link through a satellite relay. Brief cost comparisons are made.
