Description:This paper describes enterprise architecture development and associated activitiessupporting the transformation of satellite operations and sustainment at the NationalOceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA’s National EnvironmentalSatellite Data and Information Service (NESDIS) operates satellite systems in both polar andgeosynchronous orbits. Each system includes a full complement of primarily stand-alonemission management, command and control, data processing, product generation, and datadistribution capabilities. These include the legacy Polar Operational EnvironmentalSatellite (POES) and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) systems aswell as the soon to be launched Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite Series R(GOES-R) and Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) systems. As the size and complexity ofspacecraft, sensors, data, software, hardware, communications, and products continue toincrease, NESDIS has crafted a new Concept of Operations in which it will develop, operate,maintain, and sustain the ground infrastructure as an integrated enterprise. Based on aservice oriented architecture, the Integrated Ground Enterprise approach promises greateragility, flexibility, and efficiency at reduced cost. The long-term goal is to enable NESDIS toavoid buying entire new ground systems in the future. This paper describes the process andresults of work to define a target architecture that leverages existing legacy capabilities andintegrates elements of the newly fielded capabilities within time-phased transition plans. Thetarget architecture illustrates the implementation of twelve different use cases that cover allthe anticipated uses of the integrated enterprise. It describes benefits and impacts, andcompares them to the traditional stand-alone approach. A draft Transition and SequencingPlan documents practical considerations governing implementation of the transformation.The paper identifies challenges in transforming to an enterprise approach and describesefforts to mitigate them. Development of common services hosted in shared infrastructure iskey to the implementation. The paper also profiles initial development activities intended toestablish early proof of the benefits of the approach, including product processing and datadistribution.
