Mission

The Engineering Branch:

provides overall technical direction for all NEXRAD technical efforts.The branch provides engineering expertise, as required, to resolve operational hardware, software, and system supportability problems. The branch evaluates users' request for changes, while performing system design and analysis. User change request initiatives involve requirement analysis, system specification preparation, feasibility studies, system design, and system integration for the WSR-88D. System design and analysis activities require maintaining design integrity over the WSR-88D. By analyzing, designing, developing, prototyping, integrating, testing and documenting system changes the Engineering Branch implements changes in order to meet user requirements or to correct deficiencies.
