ROC SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

The ROC Software Engineering (ROC/SWE) section provides a variety of support for users of the WSR-88D system. The principle support activities this section provides are development, maintenance, enhancement, and problem analysis of software for WSR-88D operational systems. Software Engineers are continuously implementing and testing software modifications that have been requested by NEXRAD users through their respective agencies: the Department Of Defense, the Department of Transportation, and the Department Of Commerce.

Software Engineering's workload is primarily divided between the components of the NEXRAD WSR-88D: the Radar Data Acquisition (RDA), the Radar Products Generator (RPG), the Master System Control Function (MSCF) and the Open Principal User Processor (OPUP).
