Defense Dept backs off storm surveillance plans risk to hurricane hunt
The Defense Department considers budget driven changes to Atlantic hurricane reconnaissance. NOAA officials vow to fight any reduction, insisting hurricane hunter missions must stay active. The Air Force and Navy may shift or end some hurricane hunter activities after 1974, but operational capability will be maintained. NOAA stresses three lines of defense: satellites, hurricane hunter aircraft, and radar coverage from Mid-Atlantic to Boston.
