Industry Day Objectives

Industry Day = collaboration and networking between the agency and industry partners in which Industry gains understanding of Agency requirements and the Government gains understanding of industry capabilities.

• Opportunity for the agency to provide an overview of anticipated requirements and for the industry to ask questions and start thinking about how best to meet the agencies anticipated requirements.

• When a Request For Information (RFI) is published to sam.gov in the coming weeks, Industry will be better prepared and more excited to respond.

GEO Program Overview

30 Minutes

NOAA’s Geostationary Satellite System

• Our “eyes in the sky,” providing the only persistent coverage of the Western Hemisphere

– Enable weather forecasters to issue emergency warnings to protect life and property

• Protects the one billion people who live and work in the Americas

– 100,000+ premature U.S. deaths per year from extreme weather and poor air quality

• Provides essential information for disaster preparation and prevention, transportation, energy management, agriculture, recreation, tourism, and more.

Aftermath of Galveston 1900 Hurricane

Constant, real time observation of the Western Hemisphere

“ The greatest single advancement in observing tools for tropical meteorology was unquestionably the advent of the geosynchronous meteorological satellite.”

- Former National Hurricane Center Director Bob Sheets

Why are we here?

• We have a mature ground system that successfully supports the GOES-R constellation, and is ready to support SWFO-L1 launch next year

– Following the successful GOES-19 launch this past spring, we are simplifying the ground system and migrating Data Operations to the cloud

• We are 18 months into the 5-year Geostationary Ground Sustainment Services (GGSS) contract

– Prepping for the follow-on effort called GEO Ground Multi-Mission

Sustainment and Evolution (GMSE)

– We look forward to hearing your input as we shape the next sustainment & evolution requirements and get ready for an RFI in the future

National Critical Sectors, Functions, and GEO

55 total defined National Critical Functions

GEO Ground directly supports 2 with critical weather and climate information:

• Prepare for and manage emergencies

• Provide Public Safety

GEO Ground indirectly supports multiple national critical functions by providing critical data:

• Transport Cargo and Passengers by Air – NOAA Weather Forecasts are critical to the FAA

• Provide Material and Operational Support to Defense – The DoD utilizes NOAA weather data for regions without sufficient DoD assets

• Distribute Electricity – NOAA space weather data is one piece in ensuring stability of the national electrical grid

GEO Ground System Sustainment & Evolution Industry DayNovember 7, 2024

National Critical Functions: The functions of government and the private sector so vital to the United States that their disruption, corruption, or dysfunction would have a debilitating effect on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination thereof.

Goals That Drive Evolution

41November 7, 2024 GEO Ground System Sustainment & Evolution Industry Day

Total Lifecycle Cost (Reducing labor and material)

- Development

- Operations (ease of operations/operability)

- Maintenance

- Sustainment (obsolescence)

IT Security/Risk Management

- Vulnerability management

- Reduced surface threat area

- Proactive security posture

- Align with Commerce, NOAA IT Security

NESDIS Enterprise Citizenship

- Unified tooling (common services)

- Integrating with NESDIS Enterprise Services

Mission Responsibility

- Meet multiple mission needs based on functional and performance requirements, including all NFRs

- Rate of Change

Goal: Lifecycle Cost Management

Total Lifecycle Cost = what is the total cost to architect, develop, sustain, and overall maintain the system?

42November 7, 2024 GEO Ground System Sustainment & Evolution Industry Day

C o st

Time (Years)

Approach C

Approach B

Approach A

When selecting an evolution approach we know there will be upfront costs. The question becomes, based on the evolution approach selected, what will the TLC be (sum of labor and resources) over a specified time period?

Goal: NESDIS Enterprise Citizenship

43November 7, 2024 GEO Ground System Sustainment & Evolution Industry Day

• NESDIS (OCS & OSPO) are providing enterprise-scale common services based on cloud technologies via the NESDIS Common Cloud Framework (NCCF)

• GEO Ground interfaces with the NCCF and will adjust as it evolves

Evolution Activities Through 2028

44November 7, 2024 GEO Ground System Sustainment & Evolution Industry Day

Successful launch of final GOES-R series satellite & handover of Ops to the Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) has evolved the Operations Concept

Exploring capabilities that can be retired or slimmed down Case example: operationalization of all instruments and algorithms eliminates the need for dedicated workstations at the National Centers for Weather and Climate Prediction (NCWCP)

Retirement

Cloud Migration

On-Premise Footprint Reduction

Migration of existing on-premises Data Operations capability into cloud technologies

Three step process

1. Proof of Concept

2. Prototype

3. Operationalize

Approaches:

• Refactoring capabilities into cloud-native solutions

• Adopting SAFe® Agile processes

Decommission of on-premise HW and reorganization of environments post cloud migration

Expected results:

• Minimize physical infrastructure while retaining IT Sec

• Recover hardware components to increase spare stocks

• Reduce active hardware/software licenses

• Significant increase in cloud presence

– Data Operations (L1b and L2+) in Cloud

• Reduced on-premise footprint and environments

• Adopt contemporary agile process (IaC, CI/CD, etc.)

– Successfully executing the current mission and meeting all performance requirements

– Must evolve to incorporate GeoXO requirements

– Must remain operational through 2036 for GOES-R, 2035 for SWFO-L1, and 2055 for GeoXO

• GEO Ground Project:

– Defined goals and objectives

– An overall evolution concept

• Near-Term: High-level approach through 2028

• Long-Term: Currently establishing the plan for 2028 and beyond

• Seeking industry input to help refine and inform long-term evolution plan

– Technologies and strategies

Level 0 (L0):

• L0 products are observation data received directly from the satellite instruments. The data is not meaningful to most users prior to processing by the ground system.

Level 1b (L1b):

• L1b products are calibrated and, where applicable, geographically corrected, L0 data. This means that the data has been processed so that its values are in standard units of physical quantities.

• For ABI, the L1b product is Radiances. This is useful for users who require radiance units, instead of reflectance/brightness (Kelvin) units.

• All of the instruments have L1b products available except GLM, which is only distributed as an L2+ product.

• For technical information, see the Product User Guide (PUG) Volume 3: L1b Products, Revision 2.3.

Level 2+ Products:

• L2+ products contain environmental physical qualities, such as cloud top height or land surface temperature. Aside from the GLM Lightning Detection Product, the data source for these products is the ABI L1b data.

• The mission-critical ABI product is Cloud and Moisture Imagery (CMI), which utilizes all 16 ABI spectral bands, and is used to generate an array of products aiding forecasters in monitoring and predicting weather hazards.

• For technical information, see the GOES-R Series Product Definition & Users’ Guide (PUG) Volume 5: L2+ Products, Revision 2.4.
