For
air transport, NASA contracted in May 1998 with a team led by Honeywell
to develop a worldwide weather distribution and display system. The
five-year contract covers the Phoenix, Ariz.-based company’s work on an
"end-to-end solution...to get timely weather information to and from the
aircraft," says Keith Hughes, program manager. "We’ll get the
information from a variety of sources–satellite images, ground weather
services, other aircraft en route–process it, distribute it, and display
it in the cockpit in near real time."
The program’s intent is to improve the weather information provided to the airline dispatcher, air traffic controller, and aircrews, according to Daniel Leger, project lead at Honeywell, who adds, "Ideally, for efficiency in decision making, all three would look at the same information."
Honeywell’s program is called WINN, for weather information network, and should not be confused with CWIN (cockpit weather information), which is an earlier NASA research program. Honeywell selected the following team members for the WINN project:
