Description
The Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic Polar Programs, Integrated Product Team (NPP) supports the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) through acquisition, deployment, and sustainment of systems, equipment, and operational services for the United States Antarctic Program (USAP). A key component of this support is the operational services and the collection of data from meteorological sensing systems used in the observing and forecasting of weather conditions. This includes data from fixed-based sensor groups and satellite imagery from a variety of polar-orbiting weather satellites. A new system to receive, process, and display this satellite imagery is the basis of this RFI.
