The U.S. Air Force has contracted Raytheon for the Future Operationally Resilient Ground Evolution (FORGE) project with a budget of $197 million over five years. FORGE is designed to process data from the Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) and the Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared (Next Gen OPIR) satellites while also enabling integrations with civilian sensors.
Raytheon, alongside BAE Systems and Booz Allen Hamilton, developed a prototype within a year, leveraging previous work on the Advanced Weather Integrated Processing System (AWIPS). The open architecture of FORGE allows third parties to create applications, potentially expanding its use to environmental monitoring and disaster response. Upcoming meetings with the Air Force will determine the project’s development timeline.
