BOOZ ALLEN TO BUILD A MODERN CLOUD-BASED DATA PLATFORM FOR NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE

Delivering a mission-critical scalable platform for weather data and forecasting

Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) today announced it has been selected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS) to build a first-of-its-kind cloud-based data platform that will power the nation’s weather forecasting tools and services. The work supports a new NWS initiative, the Central Integrated Real-Time Repository for Unified Services (NWS CIRRUS), aimed at transforming how weather data is processed, analyzed, and delivered by using cloud technology, advanced data engineering, and AI.

As part of this effort, Booz Allen will help rebuild the Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS)—the cornerstone system used to ingest, analyze, forecast, and disseminate operational weather data to forecasters—in a secure cloud environment and at speed. This critical system enables forecasters to generate accurate predictions, issue timely severe weather warnings, and deliver the information to protect American lives and properties.

“Building the systems that power our nation’s weather forecasting is a mission of national importance," said Katie Hermosilla, Executive Vice President at Booz Allen. “This work will accelerate NWS’s ability to deliver faster, more actionable environmental intelligence that protects communities, infrastructure, and economic activity across the United States.”

Booz Allen will help build an enterprise cloud-based data platform that enables faster and more resilient delivery of weather data, products and a multitude of current and future applications.

“We are excited to partner with the NWS to build the next generation weather data platform that helps the NWS transform their operating model through an untethered workforce,” said Prachi Sukhatankar, Vice President at Booz Allen. “NWS CIRRUS is a groundbreaking initiative that represents a significant shift in how weather data and products are managed and delivered, creating a scalable foundation for advanced forecasting capabilities nationwide.”

Booz Allen brings deep expertise in building mission-critical cloud architecture, advanced data science and engineering environments, and AI-powered systems for complex federal missions. The company’s work with the NWS reflects Booz Allen’s broader commitment to advancing data-driven solutions that strengthen national resilience and enable faster, more informed decision-making.
