In "Weather Operations in the Transformation Era," Col. John M.
Lanicci USAF, takes a compelling look at future weather operations.
His hypothesis is that a consolidated battlespace picture
integrates both natural and man-made elements, which is totally
consistent with USAF transformation efforts. He points out that the
way ahead is easier said than done and offers several cogent
reasons why the weather operations portion of
information-in-warfare has not caught up with current USAF
doctrine. One such example is our historical tendency to look at
weather as a somewhat isolated, tactical problem. Significant
advances in information technology and advent of effects-based
operations are propelling the USAF weather community away from
traditional, single-inject stand-up briefings towards continuously
updated advice to war fighters at every step of campaign/mission
planning and execution. This technological momentum will make it
necessary to fundamentally change data collection, analysis,
prediction, and product tailoring. The author outlines these
changes in a concept called weather, intelligence, surveillance,
and reconnaissance (WISR), a term first used by the Air Staff to
describe the total integration of natural and man-made environments
for predictive battlespace awareness (PBA). The WISR concept is
based on substantially increasing the volume of weather data
collected intheater by using the same airborne assets being
proposed for PBA, persistent ISR, and time-critical targeting. It
proposes the creation of a four-dimensional database that can be
used to integrate the natural environment into the common operating
picture. The WISR concept also advocates transmitting real-time
weather information to the cockpit as a means to optimize the "kill
chain" by allowing rapid redirecting of sorties based on
continuously updated weather information.
