Weather System Follow-On Geostationary (WSF-G)
Abstract
Residual Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) Relocation is a Department of Defense (DoD) weather mitigation plan to address Space-based Environmental Monitoring (SBEM) Weather Gaps 1 (Cloud Characterization) and Gap 2 (Theater Weather Imagery) requirements over the Indian Ocean region. The requirements have been validated by the JROC Memo 033-16. The program will leverage a spare National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA) on-orbit geostationary asset for the DoD use, in order to provide timely and reliable high-quality electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) remote sensing capability that will address the critical weather data needs over the Central Command (CENTCOM) Area of Responsibility (AoR). Includes program office and other related support activities that may include, but are not limited to studies, technical analysis, and risk reduction activities etc. Continue to address secondary weather gaps identified in the Meteorological and Oceanographic (METOC) Initial Capabilities Document (ICD).
