DoD Preliminary Screening Tool
faa.gov Tools:
Print this page
Disclaimer:
The DoD Preliminary Screening Tool enables developers to obtain a preliminary review of potential impacts to Long-Range and Weather Radar(s), Military Training Route(s) and Special Airspace(s) prior to official OE/AAA filing. This tool will produce a map relating the structure to any of the DoD/DHS and NOAA resources listed above. The use of this tool is
100 % optional
and will provide a first level of feedback and single points of contact within the DoD/DHS and NOAA to discuss impacts/mitigation efforts on the military training mission and NEXRAD Weather Radars.
The use of this tool does not in any way replace the official FAA processes/procedures.
Instructions:
Select a screening type for your initial evaluation. Currently the system supports pre-screening on:
-Air Defense and Homeland Security radars(Long Range Radar)
-Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler radars(NEXRAD)
-Military Operations
Enter either a single point or a polygon and click submit to generate a long range radar analysis map.
Military Operations is only available for a single point.
At least three points are required for a polygon, with an optional fourth point.
The largest polygon allowed has a maximum perimeter of 100 miles.

Map Legend:
Green:
No anticipated impact to Air Defense and Homeland Security radars. Aeronautical study required.
Green:
No Impact Zone.
Impacts not likely. NOAA will not perform a detailed analysis, but would still like to know about the project.
Dk Green:
Notification Zone.
Some impacts possible. Consultation with NOAA is optional, but NOAA would still like to know about the project.
Yellow:
Impact likely to Air Defense and Homeland Security radars. Aeronautical study required.
Orange:
Mitigation Zone.
Significant impacts likely. NOAA will likely request mitigation if a detailed analysis indicates that the project will cause significant impacts.
Red:
Impact highly likely to Air Defense and Homeland Security radars. Aeronautical study required.
This is a preliminary review of your proposal and does not preclude official FAA processes.

Because the NEXRAD can detect wind turbines occasionally at great distance, NOAA would like to know the location of all wind farm projects so that corrupted radar data can be flagged. Send project information directly to NOAA at
wind.energy.matters@noaa.gov
or through the National Telecommunications & Information Administration (NTIA) in the Dept. of Commerce. NOAA protects all wind project information as proprietary and sensitive.
