Synopsis

I am pleased to report that today our agencies are continuing to work together toward a commongoal in a number of important areas. In 2014, we reactivated the Committee for OperationalEnvironmental Satellites to improve interagency communication and coordination of mattersregarding the use of environmental satellites. In 2014 we began and in 2015 will complete a midcourse assessment of progress in achieving our strategic research plan for tropical cyclones. We will continue to plan, organize, and host the Interdepartmental Hurricane Conference to shareinformation and prepare for next year’s hurricane season, including publishing the 2015 NationalHurricane Operations Plan. I am also eager to see the proof of concept system under development for dual-polarization phased array radar and the possibility to move forward with a full-scale Advanced Technology Demonstrator for Multifunction Phased Array Radar (MPAR).MPAR represents a potential breakthrough in economy across a number of radar applications.This is also an exciting time for discovering, acquiring, and employing new data streams fromsatellites, networks of observing networks across the country, and unmanned aerial systems—allof which our interagency coordinating groups will be addressing in fiscal year (FY) 2015. Indata-related work, we will also seek to reactivate the Satellite Telemetry Interagency WorkingGroup (STIWG) in FY 2015. Reactivating STIWG will heighten agency awareness of theGeostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) Data Collection System (DCS) andopportunities for data sharing and collaboration. GOES DCS has grown to approximately 26,000stations sending almost 700,000 transmissions containing an estimated 6 million observations perday.This edition of the Federal Plan provides additional information on the topics I’ve just describedas well as much more information about activities across the agencies. It provides Congress andthe Executive Branch with a review of agency programs and activities in FY 2014 and acomprehensive account of proposed programs for FY 2015. The Federal Plan's narratives,timelines, and schedules are current as of September 2014.
