- Description
- This contract is awarded as a result of full and open competition. The period of performance is for one year plus two one-year options. The contract is to build upon existing operational and research and development (R&D) meteorological computing platforms and prototype capabilities through research, design, development, engineering, publication, and upgrade of methodologies and technologies. The DTRA operational NWP capability must be made available on-demand in a 'cold-start' mode meaning that potential operators of the system (i.e., engineers and scientists) not necessarily versed in the details of NWP should be provided with the ability to initialize an NWP forecast, verify the output, and process results that are operationally compatible with DTRA and DoD atmospheric transport and dispersion (ATD) codes (e.g., the Hazard Prediction and Assessment Capability [HPAC], the Integrated WMD Toolset [IWMDT], and the Joint Effects Model [JEM]). The MDS system must be capable of serving weather data to 1000 simultaneous users, ensuring data is parsed, formatted, and transmitted successfully within five minutes. In addition, Weather Client software compatible with DTRA and DoD CA/CM systems that directly access MDS must be maintained and further developed. Both the NWP and MDS systems reside on DoD classified and unclassified networks and must meet DoD information assurance standards and be PKI and CAC accessible. The end-state goal is a comprehensive meteorological capability to serve DTRA and DoD CA/CM functions. The end system must include both an in-house, high-resolution NWP capability and the ability to serve NWP and observational data in appropriate formats seamlessly and securely to DTRA and DoD customers.
