NSSL continues to work in partnership with the NWS Radar Operations Center and Office of Science & Technology to complete the Open Systems Radar Product Generator (ORPG). Earlier this year, the project experienced a setback when the manufacturer of the communication server selected to support the legacy communication protocols went out of business. A suitable replacement communication server was selected and software development has been ongoing. Development has been strongly dependent on manufacturer-provided software modifications needed to satisfy several of the ORPG communication requirements. Delivery of these modifications to the Government is due in late November 2000. Completion of the communication server work is expected in January 2001. The ORPG continues to undergo extensive testing. Defects in the system
are being identified and repaired and performance of the system is being
tuned. The additional time afforded the project due to the communication
server replacement is being put to good use and is resulting in a more
stable and robust system. Formal System Test is currently expected to
begin early in 2001 with operational deployment of the ORPG scheduled
to begin during the summer of 2001.
