Air Force Research Lab’s Space Vehicles Directorate says it has turned over prototypes of the Space Situational Awareness Environmental Effects Fusion System (SEEFS), designed to provide real-time data to warfighters about how space weather may affect current operations or systems. The SEEFS prototypes will go first to operators at Air Force Space Command’s Schriever AFB, Colo., for initial training and exercises.
