On any given day I could be designing, assembling, loading a box truck, driving to Boston, and installing the "heavy stuff" of a project.
This was case last Thursday and Friday:
What?
SHDR - Ship Height Detection Radar
Why?
To measure the heights of ships, DUH?!
The illustrious airport in Boston has a runway that overlooks a harbor inlet and since the runway protection zone crosses said inlet, provisions need to be made for seeing ships that cross those invisible lines. The system they are presently using which only tracks ships is going away soon and our solution is one radar to track the ships and the other measures the height. The height radar will sit under the overhang inside of a plastic barrier and all of the computers needed to run it are in the shelter.
It's an interesting system, just don't ask me to explain how it works, I'm only the ME.
