Description

As the Department of Defenseäó»s (DODäó»s) primary existing weather satellite system -- the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) -- ages and other satellites near their estimated end of life, DOD faces potential gaps in its space-based environmental monitoring (SBEM) capabilities which may affect stakeholders that use SBEM data, including the military services, the intelligence community, and U.S. civil agencies such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). DOD has conducted a requirements review and an analysis of alternatives (AOA) to identify and compare the operational effectiveness and life cycle costs of potential solutions for providing SBEM capabilities. This report addresses (1) the extent to which the SBEM AOA addressed input from stakeholders and assessed the range of alternatives for potential solutions; and (2) the extent to which the AOA informed DODäó»s plans for providing SBEM capabilities. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
