--- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Department of Defense, and National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, request proposals for Development of Wind Turbine/Radar Modeling Tool for Assessing the Effect of Wind Turbines on Radar. Studies conducted both within the U.S. and within the UK reveal that wind turbines have an adverse effect on our radars. The stakeholders’ intent is not to impede the propagation of wind turbines but to discover a means to co-exist. To that end, it is imperative that the necessary tools are developed to accurately portray the impact that the turbines will have on the nation’s radar systems. The overall goal with this effort is to develop a sound, unimpeachable impact assessment methodology that eliminates the subjectivity inherent in current procedures. Responses due 2/4/10.
