2. Background Weather Radio Improvement Program (WRIP) established as a NWS program (2006) Phase 1 - System Design and Prototype (2007 – 2008) Phase 2 - System Development and Deployment (2009 – 2012) Final detailed design System Acceptance Test Pre-Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) In April 2012, WRIP-2 was established to move NOAA Weather Wire Service (NWWS) to the NWS dissemination architecture In May 2013, Office of Science and Technology separated NWWS from NOAA Weather Radio/Broadcast Message Handler (NWR/BMH) and moved the NWWS Project under the Integrated Dissemination Program (IDP) 2

3. Project Components NWWS-Sat: Satellite broadcast through AWIPS Satellite Broadcast Network (SBN) to end users End User Client (EUC): EUC software to reside on satellite users’ systems. Functions are: message collection, message archiving, message visualization, and product filtering Open Interface (OI): Data “push” via internet. Low-cost option for users without stringent delivery requirements. Being developed using existing NWS-Chat capability, and integrated within NWS Internet Dissemination System (NIDS) National Law Enforcement Telecommunications Systems (NLETS): New software to handle message collection, message transformation based on user profile configurations, and dissemination to NLETS center to support 34 state entities, who redistribute to other state/local emergency managers 3
