Weather Intelligence and Security Program
Trusted weather intelligence for risk-informed operational decisions
RAL’s Weather Intelligence and Security Program (WISP) delivers decision-ready weather intelligence that goes beyond model output to directly support operational and strategic choices across tactical and strategic timescales. WISP integrates advanced numerical weather prediction with post-processing AI and machine learning, rigorous verification, and in-depth diagnostics to quantify weather risk and uncertainty. By focusing on trustworthy, unbiased, and well-characterized information, WISP enables sponsors to understand current environmental conditions, anticipate future conditions, and confidently assess impacts on operations and associated costs. WISP provides end-to-end decision support for high-consequence applications, including national security systems, with approaches that translate naturally to other complex, weather-sensitive decision environments. Looking ahead, WISP will continue to advance scalable evaluation frameworks, AI-enabled diagnostics, and decision-focused metrics that strengthen confidence in weather intelligence as demands on operational systems continue to grow.
