Weather Report Analysis to Barometric Pressure Sensor

Company: Montana State University (MilTech)

Major(s):
Primary: CMPSC

Non-Disclosure Agreement: YES

Intellectual Property: NO

Are you a veteran, or want to support the Marines? If so, this may be the project for you! You are being asked to create a tool that will perform an assessment of weather reports for a specific region to determine the viability of Barometric sensor readings during a mission. Solution may also produce an expected barometric map for known points (Waypoints on Map). The solution would be utilizing existing COTS barometric sensor(s) and GPS receivers. The tool will correlate barometric sensor readings to a GPS location and combine these with weather readings that are then overlayed on an open source map. This project will include discussions with Naval Information Warfare Center - Atlantic, MilTech (Montana State University) engineers, and a USMC program office to provide guidance throughout this project. If you are a veteran, have a desire to work in a government lab, or want to be an engineer working to build technology that is needed by warfighters, then this is the Fall Capstone project for you! You will be working with a MilTech team of USMC and USA veterans, Montana State University engineers, and PSU engineers. Help us develop technology that supports Marines, saving lives and money!
