Abstract
Content
The RTCA SC-230 committee began working on minimum operational performance standards (MOPS) for ice crystal detection using weather radar in 2018. The resulting MOPS document will be released in 2023. This paper presents the rationale, summarizes key requirements, and discusses means of validation for an ice crystal detection function incorporated in an airborne weather radar system.
