The WSF-M, first launched in 2024, can analyze sea ice, soil moisture and snow depth, as well as measure winds and collect cyclone data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NOAA will now rely on data and imagery provided by WSF-M as well as the Electro-Optical Weather System, or EWS, to replace the DMSP data, according to its July release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDMSP satellites remain operational today but are more than a decade past their expected end of life,\u201d the release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move comes as the Trump administration has signaled its opposition to policies aimed at addressing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/global-force-symposium\/2025\/03\/20\/gop-lawmakers-suggest-dod-cut-climate-change-initiatives-from-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/global-force-symposium\/2025\/03\/20\/gop-lawmakers-suggest-dod-cut-climate-change-initiatives-from-budget\/\">climate change<\/a>. Earlier this year, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/03\/10\/us-coast-guard-academy-censors-climate-change-from-its-curriculum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/03\/10\/us-coast-guard-academy-censors-climate-change-from-its-curriculum\/\">U.S. Coast Guard Academy<\/a> removed references to \u201cclimate change\u201d and related terminology in an effort to follow President Donald Trump\u2019s policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While DMSP data is not available, NOAA has not lost all access to global weather imaging, as it still retains its access to data gathered from its <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/jpss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/jpss\/\">Joint Polar Satellite System<\/a> as well as from buoys, other observation satellites and ground-based weather radar sites in the U.S. and globally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhile the discontinuation of certain data streams from DMSP may seem alarming, the transition to WSF-M and EWS represents a modernization effort aimed at providing more resilient and enhanced environmental monitoring capabilities to improve our ability to understand and predict weather phenomena, including tropical cyclones,\u201d NOAA said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even as the Navy is under pressure to modernize existing systems and infrastructure, the space domain is facing similar challenges, albeit on a different scale. Last fall, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gao.gov\/products\/gao-24-106841?utm_campaign=usgao_email&amp;utm_content=topic_natldefense&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=govdelivery\" target=\"_blank\"

Accountability Office reported<\/a> that the Space Force has been struggling to modernize its GPS capabilities, citing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meritalk.com\/articles\/space-force-lagging-in-gps-modernization-watchdog-warns-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.meritalk.com\/articles\/space-force-lagging-in-gps-modernization-watchdog-warns-again\/\">deficient equipment<\/a> as a contributing factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army is<a href=\"https:\/\/www.army.mil\/article\/286178\/army_completes_large_network_modernization_project_in_europe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.army.mil\/article\/286178\/army_completes_large_network_modernization_project_in_europe\"> currently overhauling its network capabilities<\/a>, and in an effort to replace

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the DOD this month is reported to have awarded a $28.4 million contract to L3Harris Technologies <a
