NASA LaRC FORESITE (NAW-4381)

• The objectives of the Follow-on Radar, Enhanced
  and Synthetic Vision Systems (SVS) Integrated
  Technology Evaluation (FORESITE) program are to
  eliminate low visibility induced aircraft
  accidents. FORESITE will continue research and
  technological development to replicate the safety
  and operational benefits of clear-day operations
  for all weather and daylight conditions. SVS to
  be utilized include a fusion of Millimeter Wave
  Radar (MMWR) and Forward Looking InfraRed (FLIR)
  sensors to test terrain awareness and runway
  incursion detection.

• NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC).

• The FORESITE project is part of NASAs goal to
  develop breakthrough concepts and technologies
  for aircraft, airspace systems, safety, and
  security. The WFF portion of this activity
  includes project management and coordination, use
  of the WFF airfield and airspace, and operational
  support.
• Contract support is provided by NENS, CSC and
• WICC.
• The Wallops budget for the project is
  approximately 72K.
