- •
First look at the integration of autonomous unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for weather modification operations and research.
- •
Issues with UAS integration are primarily related to government policy, technology advancements, and operational considerations.
- •
Demand exists for UAS that measure meteorological state parameters, 3D-winds and cloud microphysics in conditions conducive to seeding.
- •
Instrumented UAS will improve and validate model parameterizations especially when applied to simulating seeding agent dispersion.
- •
Cloud physics measurements by UAS are needed to test cloud seeding hypotheses.
- •
UAS allow for concurrent, real-time eulerian and lagrangian analyses of seeding processes throughout cloud life cycles on sub-cloud scales
