Program Objectives: (1) Satellite Calibration and Validation: Provide methods to perform the cal/val requirements for Earth Observing System satellites. (2) New Sensor Development: Provide methods to reduce risk for new sensor concepts and algorithm development prior to committing sensors to operations. (3) Process Studies: Facilitate the acquisition of high spatial/temporal resolution focused measurements that are required to understand small atmospheric and surface structures which generate powerful Earth system effects. (4) Airborne Networking: Develop disruption-tolerant networking to enable integrated multiple scale measurements of critical environmental features. Dryden Capabilities include: (a) Aeronautics history of aircraft developments and milestones. (b) Extensive history and experience in instrument integration. (c) Extensive history and experience in aircraft modifications. (d) Strong background in international deployments. (e) Long history of reliable and dependable execution of projects. (f) Varied aircraft types providing different capabilities, performance and duration.
