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: spacecraft tracking and health, early warning and theater warning radar support, Global Positioning System (GPS) and satellite communication (SATCOM) user support, IC support, and high altitude and space flight support. SWAFS's current main thrust 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 warfighters with the environmental awareness to safely sustain their respective orbits and missions.
