The main objective of the project was to plan and run ad hoc measurements finalised to test, validate and optimise:

• The radar signal simulator CleoSIm developed in the CLEOPATRA project;
• The radar signal processing and weather classification algorithms implemented on an EFB in the KLEAN project;
• The EFB GUI interfaces for the advanced display of weather classifications and decision-making advices (KLEAN project).

The specific objectives were:

• X-BAND polarimetric radar overview, selection and acquisition. The radar must be suitable to be mounted on airborne platform for gathering data in presence of weather events in compliance with the JU-SGO goals;
• Planning the ad hoc measurement campaign in well-monitored selected scenarios;
• Experiments conduction and data acquisition;
• Validation, optimisation and SW refinement of the avionic polarimetric radar signal simulator (CleoSIM);
• Validation, optimisation of the EFB weather radar signal processing and trajectory optimization algorithms (KLEAN project);
• Refine the EFB GUI in accordance with the new needs resulting from the experimental data analysis;
• EFB SW refinement and implementation to a level TRL5 (Technology Readiness Level 5).
