Next Generation Tropical Cyclone Analysis, Forecasting, and Dissemination Tactical Decision Aid Software

The buyer is seeking a next generation software solution for tropical cyclone analysis, forecasting, and dissemination as a tactical decision aid. The system is intended to automate forecasting, analysis, and dissemination workflows while providing a modern software ecosystem that addresses current workflow limitations.

The requested solution should use a containerized backend and frontend architecture and support integration of both legacy and new component algorithms, models, databases, and application programming interfaces. The platform should allow proprietary and open-source algorithms to be added or removed with relative ease, maintain robust state management for storm information, preserve backward compatibility, and support export in current formats.

The software should also provide APIs for client access, including front-end graphical user interfaces and downstream machine-to-machine applications. The backend is expected to support backup capability, likely through a distributed server environment, and be designed to integrate with internal and external AI systems or agents to support future workflows. Performance considerations include graphical rendering latency and the time required for users to complete standard storm analysis and forecast tasks within the application.
