Description:This paper describes major changes in the architecture and capability of the GroundEnterprise that operates and sustains the National Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration’s (NOAA’s) weather satellites. Operated by NOAA’s NationalEnvironmental Satellite Data and Information Service (NESDIS), the Ground Enterprisesupports satellite systems in both polar and geosynchronous orbits. These include the legacyPolar Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) and Geostationary OperationalEnvironmental Satellite (GOES) systems as well as the new Geostationary OperationalEnvironmental Satellite Series R (GOES-R) and Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) systems.Additionally NESDIS participates with domestic and international partners in satelliteoperations, product generation, and distribution involving a variety of platforms. Analysisover the last three years defined an evolved architecture for the Ground Enterprise thatintegrates its elements together for greater effectiveness and efficiency. Based on commonservices, the evolved architecture complements the strengths of the new GOES-R and JPSSGround systems with investments to modernize the remainder of the existing infrastructure.These changes will enable the Ground Enterprise to process and distribute new sources ofdata with greater agility, flexibility, and efficiency at reduced cost. They also provideseconomies of scale across the entire enterprise. This paper describes the translation of thearchitecture analysis into time-phased investment plans. These plans address the migrationto a set of Enterprise Algorithms based on common physics implementations, a modernizeddata archive potentially leveraging the cloud, shared Product Generation and DistributionServices for more efficient operations, and a Mission Science Network to promote greatercollaboration across the science community. The paper also describes the status of initialinvestments in mission support tools.
