  4. Why Care About Space Weather? DSP MILSTAR DSCS ISSUE Military Operations Depend on Integrated Air, Land, Sea, and Space Systems MAGNETOSPHERE S E A M L E S S E N V I R O N M E N T RADIATION BELTS GPS IMPACT Lack of Timely, Accurate , Relevant Weather Information May Fracture the Seamless Battlespace IONOSPHERE DMSP SHUTTLE MESOSPHERE Space Weather U-2 STRATOSPHERE Terrestrial Weather STATUS Multi-Hundred Billion Dollar Investment Not Optimized-- COMBAT EFFECTIVENESS JEOPARDIZED TROPOSPHERE

  5. The Space Environment Solar Wind Magnetosphere Electromagnetic Radiation Earth Energetic Charged Particles Sun Van Allen Belts Ionosphere Ionosphere Scintillation Region degrades downlink to SATCOM Receiver RESULT: SATCOM Signal Fades SATCOM Transmitter SATCOM Receiver Solar electromagnetic radiation and energetic particles impact the Earth’s magnetosphere and ionosphere, causing space weather disturbances which degrade military systems

  6. Army Space Soldiers learn about space weather in the following courses – SOOQC, TSOC and AF Space 100 & 200 (Space Operations Officer Qualification Course, Tactical Space Operators Course ) Space environment and space weather 101 (How solar activity impacts satellites, atmosphere, signals and the ground user) Military systems impacted by space weather events Capabilities and limitations of space weather forecasting Space weather warnings and advisories SOS (Space Operation System) tools and reach back resources to determine the impact of space weather events What do we teach on Space Weather
