The Electronic System Center’s Weather Systems Division has awarded a $9 million contract modification to Raytheon to implement Phase II of the Joint Environment Toolkit—a single, next-generation weather system that will integrate and possibly replace multiple Air Force weather weapon system components. The current systems that are slated to be integrated or replaced by JET include the Operational Weather Squadron Production System Phase II, the New-Tactical Forecast System, the Army Integrated Meteorological System weather toolkit, and the Joint Weather Impacts System.
The Space Force expects to award $905 million in contracts over the next five years through a new Maneuverable GEO program, which aims to form a commercial fleet of mobile communication satellites in geosynchronous orbit.
