Primary Centers of Responsibility (PCR)
• PCR….A component concept of IDPS CONOPS
– Used to optimize NPOESS R&D efforts
• Each Central provided NPOESS R&D resources
– Evolutionary Algorithm R&D (EARD) resources
– EARD Programmer/Manager
– PCR regarded as NPOESS authority on EDR
• Ultimate source for the “official” EDRs/archived EDRs
– Designates/serves as source for the ancillary data set
– Controls the IDPS configuration used to produce the
“official” set of EDRs for which it is PCR
– Impacts engineering design

Status of IDPS CONOPS
• Nearing completion…awaiting inputs
– Held a Centrals Conclave at IPO, 1-3 May
– Recently received consolidated inputs from follow-up Centrals’
July TIM
– Received Central IDPS CONOPS Appendices from NAVO and
FNMOC…awaiting AFWA and NESDIS
– Data Distribution Servers at Centrals
• IPO has Tasked PDRR Contractors to Conduct Feasibility
Studies and Provide ROM
• Impacts Short Term Storage Issue

GAO Review of NPOESS
•
•
•
Requested by House Committee on Science
Study Initiated in August 2001
Overall Objectives
1.
2.
3.
•
•
•
Evaluate the status, plans, and technical and programmatic risks
associated with NPOESS acquisition and operations
Identify challenges in managing the vast streams of data from
NPOESS satellites
Determine whether the IPO is effectively applying lessons learned
from prior NOAA satellite acquisition efforts
Entrance meetings with NWS and IPO in August
Numerous meetings with IPO to discuss all 3 objectives
No definitive schedule for completion of review
–
Draft report may be available for spring Congressional hearings after
release of FY 2003 PB
11
GAO Review of NPOESS
•
•
Current GAO Review Team focus is on objective #2
Reviews initiated in November with DoD and NOAA
•
•
•
COL Jamilkowski is DoD POC
GAO Team to visit METOC OPCs (FNMOC, NAVO,
AFWA, NCEP/NESDIS)
Focus of discussions on satellite data utilization
–
Current DMSP/POES data management overview
–
–
–
–
Data flow from satellites through center to end users and archives
Current uses of satellite data
Current center processing capacity and storage
Plans for NPOESS data management
–
–
Plans to "grow" the centers’ capacity, storage, and numerical
models to get ready for NPOESS increased data volumes
Budget plans for growing these capabilities
12
GAO Review of NPOESS
•
GAO Team request for information from OPCs
–
–
–
–
–
Current data flow architecture for DMSP data
DMSP/POES and NPOESS portions of a current information
technology architecture (ITA) and target ITA
Migration plans for reaching the target ITA
Plans to assimilate NPOESS data into weather models
Plans and budget information supporting efforts to "grow" the
centers’ infrastructure & models
13
Satellite Data Assimilation
•
•
•
•
COPC requested IPO to “lead and fund a vigorous data assimilation
plan”
IPO agrees with COPC precepts
–
Effective assimilation of satellite data into operational products is important
to success of future satellite programs (NPOESS/GOES-R) --- However
 IPO is not authorized nor funded to develop satellite data assimilation
techniques as part of approved program
IPO has provided >$3M over last 5 years for satellite data assimilation
experiments and development of techniques for processing data from
precursor instruments
– NCEP, OSDPD, AFRL, NRL, and academic institutions
– (AIRS, MODIS, SSM/IS, WindSat)
IPO will provide up to $500K annually to the Joint Center for Satellite
Data Assimilation
–
Funding contingent upon integration of DoD OPCs (FNMOC, NAVO,
AFWA) into the JCSDA

Summary
• EMD award slipped due to late delivery of requirements document
• Restructured PDRR
– Moved work forward to protect NPP CDR (system PDR)
– Deferred some work to post award to “create” funds
• Today – Requirements approval on track
– EXCOM approval on track
– No impediment to Aug 02 EMD award
• FY02 budget cuts cause massive restructure of program
– Will result in program slip
– Jeopardizes NPP, Windsat; slips NPOESS C-1 & causes coverage
gap
