AFW Mission
Deliver to our Nation's combat forces anytime, anyplace, the highest quality, mission-tailored information, products, and
services relating to the terrestrial and space environment....from the mud to the sun.

03 Dec 01 6Anticipate - Exploit The Weather
Air Force Direction
Incorporate environmental information directly into command-and-control systems
- Maintaining “forecaster-in-the-loop” where it makes sense to add value
Four-dimensional data bases focused on operational effects, not “weather for weather’s sake”
- Access limited as needed
Best Science--Partnering with other agencies/sources
Future is Microclimate Description--Effective use of higher resolution METSAT and model data

Recommendations
Air Force should have “a seat at the table” in developing a strategic plan
Don’t forget space weather Advantages in using environmental information
should be gained through teamwork/sharing, analysis, visualization, or prediction methods, not by restricting the flow of data
