ARMOR Data/Network Infrastructure at UAH/NSSTC

The ARMOR radar, located at the airport, is controlled remotely from NSSTC via a dedicated T-1 line.

Raw data are transmitted directly to NSSTC via the T-1.

Redundant data archival is built into the system. The main archive is maintained at NSSTC with -1.7 TB of space. Additional backup space is available at the airport (in event of a communications failure).

Level II Hytop NEXRAD data and other regional NEXRAD radar data are also archived in real-time at NSSTC.
