  2. Overview • DoD requirement for tropospheric winds • AF Planning, Requirements, and Acquisition process overview • AFSPC Partnerships

  3. DoD Tropospheric Winds Requirement 4.1.6.8.1 Tropospheric Winds (DOC/DoD). Wind measured throughout the troposphere. Wind profile required for cloud returns and planetary boundary layer aerosol returns. Systems CapabilitiesThresholdsObjectives a. Vertical Coverage Surface to 20 km b. Horizontal Resolution 50 km c. Vertical Reporting Interval 0.1 km d. Mapping Uncertainty 10 km e. Measurement Range 0 to 100 m s-1 f. Measurement Precision 0.5 m s-1, vector winds g. Measurement Accuracy ±1 m s-1, horiz. components h. Latency 15 min i. Refresh 1 hour

  4. Application of Tropospheric Winds • Near-real time analysis of global tropospheric winds • Important environmental intelligence made available via command and control systems to aid operational decision cycles • Input to numerical weather prediction models • More accurate modeling improves planning and execution of a broad scale of joint military missions

  5. Military Missions Impacted by Improved NWP • A Few Examples • Space Launch • Flight Planning/Avn Ops • Dispersion Forecasts for NBC Releases • Precision Weapons Delivery/Strike Option Planning • Precision Airdrop • Reconnaissance • Aerial Refueling • Artillery • Battle Space Awareness

  6. Air Force Space Command • Supports all military services and combatant commands, with space forces to control and exploit space on a global basis, and in defense of the United States and its interests • Organizes, trains, and equips Air Force space and intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) forces for space control, force application, force enhancement and space support “If you’re not in space, you’re not in the race” --Gen Lance W. Lord AFSPC/CC

  7. Air Force Space Command’s Vision A Full Spectrum Space Combat Command Preeminent in the Application of Space Power for National Security and Joint Warfare Air & Space Force XO DR PROGRAMS XP Fielded Capabilities REQUIREMENTS PLANS Warfighters’ Needs

Mission Mission Mission Area Needs Solutions Assessment Analysis Analysis Concepts & Prioritized Operational & Support Tasks Enabling Needs Technologies AF Planning Process What materiel solutions are possible? Identify S&T needs. What do we do? How well do we do it now? How well do we need to do it? What is the resulting need? Do we need a materiel solution? Identify S&T needs.

  11. National Security Space (NSS)Acquisition Policy • Defines an Acquisition Decision Process that works in parallel to standard acquisition process • Defines Defense Space Acquisition Board process • Separates Key Decision Points from contractual actions to allow for greater program flexibility • Allows smart tailoring to match individual program needs and constraints

  14. AFSPC Partnerships • Air Force Weather • Work with AFSPC to define Army and AF space based environmental sensing requirements • Provides weather support to AFSPC operations • NOAA • Operates Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellites • Partner on acquisition of NPOESS; 50/50 cost share • Provide critical space environmental sensing capabilities to support AFSPC operations • Example: space environmental sensors on GOES

  15. Summary • DoD requirement and use of data • AF Planning, Requirements and Acquisition process • AFSPC Partnerships
