The Space Weather Analysis and Forecast System (SWAFS) Version 2.0 is a cloud native system designed to exploit space environmental data and characterize/forecast impacts to operations, communication, and systems. It enables users to tailor specific environmental system or risk parameters and thresholds and run applications at user-defined locations and times. The SWAFS system provides environmental information to evaluate satellite anomalous behavior, communications interference, false echo returns on radar systems, and aid in precision, navigation, and timing error calculations. The system includes a developmental sandbox for model developers and automated software testing to ensure cybersecurity authentications. Overall environmental information is generally open, while specific impacts can be deemed classified based on the using organization or impacted system. The SWAFS is designed to enable users to apply their specific classification categories to their product output and run applications at their needed classification level. The primary contractor for SWAFS is PERATON Inc.
