The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has a requirement to simplify the weather retrieval process and expand the sources of data to include products from FNMOC, AFWA, NCEP, and international weather offices. The long-term objective is to have HASCAL/SCIPUFF request and retrieve the best obtainable weather data, based on the scenario input by the user, from any MDS, or future locations such as EUCOM, AFWA, or other locations. In the short term (3-6 months) future servers will go on line and Inter-MDS Communication System (IMCS) tested to route request files to the appropriate server. Server connectivity encompasses users of unclassified systems, classified systems such as SIPRNET, and special intelligence system such as JWICS. The primary hardware architecture is the PC, Windows 3.1 or higher; however, optional portability on UNIX platform exists. Potential transition to a Client-Server architecture will be investigated and possibly executed under this work. Code shall be modular and allow for easeof modification by other programmers in the event of data format changes and allow for the addition of other data types in the future.
