It depends on the projection and area file number written to the header.  I'll 
have to download these and go through them with arinfo to see if the 
projections are supported, and then after that we would have to make sure that 
the postgres tables have the necessary information in order to be decoded, for 
example

area file number: 
https://github.com/Unidata/awips2/blob/upc_14.2.1/ncep/gov.noaa.nws.ncep.common.dataplugin.mcidas/res/scripts/areaName.sql
image type number: 
https://github.com/Unidata/awips2/blob/upc_14.2.1/ncep/gov.noaa.nws.ncep.common.dataplugin.mcidas/res/scripts/imageType.sql
satellite name: 
https://github.com/Unidata/awips2/blob/upc_14.2.1/ncep/gov.noaa.nws.ncep.common.dataplugin.mcidas/res/scripts/satelliteName.sql
