Request for Information (RFI) - Environmental Satellite Ground Station RFI_ENVIRONMENTAL_SATELLITE_GROUND_STATION
Summary
AI-generated · Apr 16, 2026A new ground system to receive, process, and display satellite imagery from polar-orbiting weather satellites is being pursued to support meteorological data collection and weather forecasting for the United States Antarctic Program. The system will integrate this satellite imagery with data from fixed-based meteorological sensors used for observing and forecasting conditions.
This effort supports the National Science Foundation through acquisition, deployment, and sustainment of systems, equipment, and operational services used in USAP meteorological operations.
The Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic Polar Programs, Integrated Product Team (NPP) supports the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) through acquisition, deployment, and sustainment of systems, equipment, and operational services for the United States Antarctic Program (USAP). A key component of this support is the operational services and the collection of data from meteorological sensing systems used in the observing and forecasting of weather conditions. This includes data from fixed-based sensor groups and satellite imagery from a variety of polar-orbiting weather satellites. A new system to receive, process, and display this satellite imagery is the basis of this RFI.
