According to the vice president, the VT NigerBear is the 36th Super Dual Auroral Radar Network or SuperDarn, for short, in the world. “These irregularities degrade HF and GPS signals; the SuperDarn discovers these irregularities so that remedial action may then be taken.” “This is a major leap forward in finding solutions to degradation of HF and GPS signals and will directly impact so many aspects of life and commerce.
“And it can also significantly change the quality of our communications, telecommunications devices, global positioning systems, satellite communications, military communications, aerial surveillance. “The SuperDARN is also an important part of the Canadian Space Agency’s Geospace Observatory, working with some institutions of higher learning, and public/private sector partners, the SuperDARN team makes significant contributions to space science research to understand the complex parts of the Space Weather system.”
