The long-term goal of this Rapic Transition Process (RTP) project is to provide the warfighter with superior battlespace environmental awareness in terms of high fidelity four-dimensional (4D) depiction of the regional/mesoscale atmospheric states. This situational awareness is a key aspect of information superiority in the DoD’s strategic plan to ensure battlespace dominance in the 21st centur...
