Space Weather Analysis and Forecast System (SWAFS)
Abstract
The overall program objective for SWAFS is to enhance and sustain a single integrated space weather software baseline operating in a net-centric environment at all security levels within the AFWA enterprise architecture. SWAFS is now in Spiral 2 development and focuses on new or improved capabilities identified through user feedback on SWAFS's operational capability, existing or planned near-term additional satellite and ground station space weather data sources, and existing and planned near-term models and science-based algorithms that have reached appropriate levels of technical validation. Spiral 3 is currently planned to begin in FY 14 and will focus on advanced capabilities, such as the Full Physics-Global Assimilation of Ionospheric Measurements (FP-GAIM) model, to satisfy future requirements, including the development of other new models and science algorithms that do not currently exist and processing space weather data that is not currently available. Capabilities provided: Return to service; corrective, adaptive, and capability improvement maintenance for the operational software baseline SWAFS accepts space weather data and uses models and/or algorithms to create and disseminate specified space weather analysis and forecast products Users: COCOMs, MAJCOMs, SPADOC, NRO, Navy & Army
