Space Weather Integration Fusion Technology (SWIFT)

The Design Knowledge Company (TDKC) is pleased to present this proposal titled Space Weather Integration Fusion Technology (SWIFT). Our Phase I approach includes a thorough technology assessment, applied systems engineering, commercialization preparation, and real-world experimentation in order to derive an operationally-viable solution. our SWIFT approach addresses all aspects of the problem, during Phase I we will: (1) investigate the integration of existing Air Force space weather programs and assets with TDKC’s existing Satellite Threat Evaluation Environment for DCS (STEED) development; (2) research the primary space weather events of interest (solar radiation storms, coronal mass ejections, etc.) ; (3) deploying a SWIFT prototype in AFRL/RHEC facilities leveraging existing 3D display products; (4) identify applicable space weather data services (Communications/Navigation Outage Forecasting System, NOAA Space Weather Reporting System, etc.) ; and (5) research and develop effective work-flow considerations, data fusion, visualization patterns, cognitive resources, and perceptual monitoring requirements.
