Space Weather Analysis and Forecast System (SWAFS)

Abstract

SWAFS is a software suite of 47 models/applications to ingest, process, and store space environmental data, run space environmental models to specify and forecast the near-Earth environment, and run space effects characterization applications. SWAFS products support various operations including 1. Spacecraft tracking and health 2. Early Warning & Theater Warning Radar support 3. GPS & SATCOM user support 4. Intel Community support and 5. High Altitude & Space Flight support. SWAFS's current main thrusts include modernizing SWAFS software code and transitioning SWAFS code to the cloud which will enable construction of a service-based architecture and enhance cycle times and the overall user experience. Furthermore, the program is working to deliver the Magnetospheric Energetic Charged Particle Hazard Assessment System (ECP HAS) that is designed to inform satellite operators of hazards and the impacts to their spacecraft and will provide the warfighter with the environmental awareness to safely sustain their respective orbits and missions.
