Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAV) - Storm Chasing
UAVs have a unique ability to fly into dangerous weather or storm systems
that a manned-aircraft would not. In the future, NASA would like to have the
ability to not only monitor and measure these storm systems, but to influence
them with a variety of devices. Research is needed in areas involving slowing
or even stopping a storm. Some suggested methods may include endothermic heat
absorption and circulation disruption to degrade storm momentum.
