Case Study: U.S. Air Force Weather Enterprise achieves faster, more secure weather intelligence with SAIC

U.S. Air Force Weather Enterprise cuts service calls 15% with SAIC

The U.S. Air Force Weather Enterprise faced the immense challenge of processing up to seven petabytes of global weather data daily to provide mission-essential, real-time intelligence for operations worldwide. To modernize this critical function and ensure its systems remained fast and resilient, the Air Force partnered with SAIC under the Technology Applications Development and Sustainment (TADS) contract.

SAIC implemented a solution focused on 24/7 sustainment, systems engineering, and integration, adopting DevSecOps approaches and building a cross-functional workforce. This resulted in a 15% year-over-year reduction in service calls, improved cybersecurity, and infrastructure upgrades that saved nearly $1 million annually. These efforts ensured that commanders and personnel received reliable, actionable weather insights, providing a significant strategic advantage for missions.
