Future Integrated Ground Enterprise Addresses Current Enterprise Limitations Today’s Ground • POES & GOES legacy systems developed 20+ years ago • Two new, highly-capable, stand-alone ground systems with modest interoperability and parts commonality • High sustainment and O&M costs • Inefficient use of government & contractor personnel • Expensive to develop • Lack of an enterprise approach to future capability development. • Limited use of similar capabilities across missions • Limited ability to leverage existing systems for new products / services • Difficult and costly to integrate future missions Integrated Ground Enterprise • Enterprise approach with flexible, agile concepts of operation that reduce costs and speed product / service deployment • Integrating current & new infrastructure with common services for interoperability and improved utilization • Improved parts commonality for more efficient use of resources • Separate hardware and software sustainment activities, enabling hardware refresh and new capability insertions as opportunities and budgets permit • Establishing well-defined, common business processes & procedures, and roles & responsibilities across all ground projects Never Buy Another Stand-Alone Ground System Sustain • Enable • Create – OSGS 4

NESDIS Perspective on Transformation • Move to Integrated Ground Enterprise must be achieved while executing on existing missions and acquisitions / commitments – Simultaneously sustain current capability and transition two new ground segments to sustainment – Then integrate, modify and enhance capabilities § Ground Enterprise Architectures Services (GEARS) Investments – While exploiting early opportunities to achieve progress on key challenges • Challenges exist in processes, procedures, and workforce / culture – Existing workforce acquires and sustains with legacy system approaches § Many small contracts, stand-alone acquisitions, hands-on software maintenance, limited systems limited architecture considerations – New systems (GOES-R, JPSS) need different approaches § Potentially too complex for hands-on government software maintenance § Integrated maintenance and sustainment § Enterprise architecture and systems engineering influences on tech refresh – OSGS emphasis on systems engineering requires additional staff § Realignment of current processes governing sustainment Sustain • Enable • Create – OSGS 5

OSGS Vision and Mission Guide NESDIS Transition to a Ground Enterprise Strengthening NESDIS: A new organization, the Office of Satellite Ground Services (OSGS), will consolidate the development and sustainment of all NESDIS ground systems. OSGS will leverage common ground services and guide development of an enterprise ground architecture OSGS Vision One integrated, cross-program, cross-NESDIS team creating and sustaining the Ground Enterprise Architecture Services (GEARS) OSGS Mission • Sustain Current Ops (GOES, POES, S-NPP, …) • Enable Future Ops (GOES-R, JPSS, …) • Create Enterprise Ground (GEARS = NDE, PDA, CLASS. . ) Section 2 Sustain • Enable • Create – OSGS 6

Mission: Create the Integrated Ground Enterprise FOUR ELEMENTS: • Concept of Operations • Drafted in FY 14, published in Feb 2015 • TOGAF Approach - Enterprise Architecture • Initiated in FY 14 • Released Published Business Architecture Sep 2015 • Released Information Systems Architecture Mar 2016 • Targeting Technology Reference Model Jun 2016 • Transition and Sequencing Plan (T&SP) • Released version 0. 5 in Dec 2015 • Targeting version 1. 0 for Jul 2016 • Existing Legacy, GOES-R, and JPSS services will be reused whenever feasible • GEARS program of Investments focused on Return on Investment Sustain • Enable • Create – OSGS 7

Transition & Sequencing Plan (T&SP): Principles for IGE Transition • Evolutionary Transformation – The goal is to achieve the IGE through incremental improvements consistent with the target architecture, rather than developing the whole solution and migrating existing systems (no “Big-Bang” Transformation) • Infrastructure & Support Services First – Although significant Return on Investment is expected by moving to a common set of Mission Services for capabilities such as Flight & Ground Operations and Data Management Services, these capabilities are built on top of an operational infrastructure and support services • Responsiveness to Stakeholders – Stakeholder participation (e. g. , through the NESDIS Ground Enterprise Executive Board and Enterprise Architecture Working Group) guides the transition strategy Sustain • Enable • Create – OSGS 11

Example T&SP Result: Return on Investment by Function • Based on the degree to which a given system service is independent of mission-unique features: – Downstream services (i. e. , Archive & Distribution) which are independent of the original satellite mission data are ranked High; – Spacecraft/Instrument specific services (i. e. , Command & Data Acquisition & L 1/SDR data processing) are highly dependent on mission specific details and are ranked Low; – Services such as Mission Operations, Ingest and Product Generation provide mission specific tailoring of capabilities that are common to all missions and are ranked Medium.

Early Enterprise Element: Environmental Satellite Processing and Distribution System (ESPDS) • Modernizes the NESDIS Environmental Satellite Processing Center (ESPC) – Includes Product Generation (PG), Product Distribution (PD), and Infrastructure segments • • • Will be implemented at the primary and backup ESPC sites Provides a scalable and secure infrastructure as a foundational building block upon which all other system functions and services reside ESPDS uses a Service-Oriented Architecture providing these benefits: Extensibility: The loose coupling of services allows the ability to add new functionality to the system without impacting the existing capabilities Reusability: ESPDS services will be usable for future integration, benefitting future government systems Modularity: ESPDS services are able to be upgraded and replaced easily Cost: All of the above enable long term cost benefits Service A 1 Service B Service C 1 Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) Service C 2 Service A 2 Sustain • Enable • Create – OSGS 15

Early Enterprise Element: Product Access and Distribution (PDA) Operational Concept • PDA provides a paradigm shift in the agency’s approach to managing real-time distribution of environmental satellite data: - Allows approved users to manage their data access details (product customization, selection and transfer method) - Provides the user with greater data discovery (via the online catalog) and OSPO with greater data organizational control - Enables OSPO to manage / monitor the user’s data volume usage and user’s access to product groups • Data access reviewed and granted by the Data Access Review Board (DARB) – product groups and data volume allocations Sustain • Enable • Create – OSGS 16

Early Enterprise Element: Comprehensive Large Array-data Storage System (CLASS) • CLASS reduces cost growth associated with storing environmental datasets by: – Consolidating stand-alone, legacy archival storage systems, reducing the number of IT systems for NOAA to manage and customers to access. – Relieving data owners of archival storagerelated system development and operations issues – Replication via NOAA Science Network (N-WAVE) CLASS NCDC, Asheville NC CLASS NSOF, Suitland MD Test and Integration Environment Operations • Ingest • Storage (Disk & Tape) • Public Access Satellite Landing Zone Development Environment CLASS NGDC, Boulder CO Development Team Fairmont, WV Sustain • Enable • Create – OSGS 17
