HPCMP Missionhttp://www.hpcmo.hpc.mil
The Department of Defense (DoD) High Performance Computing Modernization Program's (HPCMP) mission is to deliver world-class commercial, high-end, high performance computational capability to the DoD's science and technology (S&T) and test and evaluation (T&E) communities, facilitating the rapid application of advanced technology into superior war-fighting capabilities.

The High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) was initiated in 1992 in response to congressional direction to modernize the Department of Defense (DoD) laboratories' high performance computing (HPC) capabilities. The HPCMP was assembled out of a collection of small high performance computing departments each with a rich history of supercomputing experience that had independently evolved within the Army, Air Force, and Navy laboratories and test centers.
The HPCMP provides the supercomputer services, high-speed network communications, and computational science expertise that enables the Defense laboratories and test centers to conduct a wide range of focused research, development, and test activities. This partnership puts advanced technology in the hands of U.S. forces more quickly, less expensively, and with greater certainty of success. Today's weapons programs, such as the Joint Strike Fighter, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement, and the Javelin Missile program, have benefited through innovative materials, advanced design concepts, improved and faster modification programs, higher fidelity simulations, and more efficient tests. Future weapons systems, such as radio frequency weapons, the airborne laser, and the Army's future combat system, are benefiting through basic and applied research in plasma physics, turbulence modeling, molecular engineering, high-energy materials, and advanced signal processing.
The HPCMP is organized into three components to achieve its goals. These components are: HPCMP HPC Centers, Networking, and Software Application Support.

High Performance Computing Software Applications Institutes: The first High Performance Computing Software Applications Institutes (HSAI) were selected by the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Science and Technology) on August 20, 2004. Each institute will form a critical mass of experts keenly focused on using computational science and high performance computing to accelerate solving the Department's highest priority challenges. With cross-Service and Agency teaming and multi-disciplinary approaches, the institutes have a strong potential to transform the DoD's science and technology and test and evaluation communities and to make the important advances in research, development, test, and evaluation.

BEI MissionThe Battlespace Environments Institute (BEI), located at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, includes the Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL) Oceanography Division, personnel from the NRL's Ocean and Marine Meteorology divisions, the Army’s Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) and from the Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA). This institute will migrate existing DoD climate/weather/ocean modeling and simulation, environmental quality modeling and simulation and space weather applications to the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF) and assist in transitioning non-DoD ESMF applications to DoD. Establishing a DoD BEI within the broad ESMF will allow DoD to tailor access to 19 major earth system modeling components and 30 ESMF applications to meet its requirements. The BEI will result in cross-service and cross-agency collaborations and savings, and the rapid transfer of new models to support the DoD Battlespace Environments Mission and will augment ESMF with capabilities needed for the DoD battlespace environment. The BEI will become the primary means to couple earth system components within DoD.

Facilitate the integration of Earth and space modeling capabilities into a seamless, whole-earth common modeling infrastructure allowing the inter-service development of multiple, mission-specific environmental simulations. (GOAL)
Support battlefield decisions, improve interoperability, reduce operating costs, streamline the transition of cutting-edge environmental technologies from research into DoD operations. (GOAL)
Use the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF) as an “enabling technology” to develop the whole-earth system. Bring in DoD as a partner to the ESMF. Transition non-DoD ESMF applications to DoD. (STRATEGY)
Foster wider collaborations between DoD, multiple government agencies, academia and industry.

AFWA-BEI Space Weather Modeling Goals
Couple ESMF versions of Hakamada-Akasofu-Fry (HAF) kinematic solar wind model and Global Assimilation of Ionospheric Measurements (GAIM) models to provide DoD with the ability to extend the forecast lead time of the arrival of a shock in the solar wind created by a Coronal Mass Ejection at the sun from 1 hour to 1-3 days.
Extreme space weather conditions can adversely affect communications, satellite orbit decay, satellite charging and result in false radar targets.

HAF predicts solar wind conditions (speed, density and interplanetary magnetic field) at the Earth based upon observations of the Sun. These solar wind parameters are key inputs to numerical prediction models for forecasting space weather disturbances (such as geomagnetic storms, energetic particle fluxes and ionospheric disturbances) that impact space operations.
GAIM will use a physics-based ionosphere-plasmasphere-polar wind model and a Kalman filter as a basis for assimilating a diverse set of real-time (or near real-time) measurements. GAIM will provide global distributions for the ionospheric drivers (neutral winds and densities, magnetospheric and equatorial electric fields, and particle precipitation patterns), and in its specification mode, quantitative estimates for the accuracy of the reconstructed ionospheric densities.
