U.S. operational space weather is caught between two competing factors. On one hand, directed agency funding at about $1 billion for model development over the past decade has brought modeling maturity to five broad Sun-to-Earth domains, i.e., the Sun, heliosphere, magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere. On the other hand, agency funding for transitioning these models into operations has been a small fraction of the level provided for model development. This situation has left implementation of operational space weather largely unfunded and woefully undirected, with the exception of a few U.S. Air Force Weather Agency projects. A new vision is needed so that operational space weather can help solve 21st-century challenges.
