Mission-Critical Weather Intelligence

Modern defence operations operate in increasingly complex environmental conditions. Weather, climate variability, and environmental risk directly affect mission safety, asset readiness, logistics, training, and infrastructure resilience.

OpenWeather delivers secure, operationally focused weather intelligence designed to complement sovereign forecasting capabilities, providing additional assurance, resilience insight, and decision support.

Use Cases

Where OpenWeather Supports Defences

Second-opinion forecasting for sensitive missions
OpenWeather provides independent, secondary environmental intelligence to support high-risk and time-critical defence operations. Our capability is designed to complement, not replace, national meteorological services, offering rapid deployment, overseas coverage, and validation in complex or denied environments where operational assurance and decision confidence are essential.
Environmental risk intelligence for training and exercises
We deliver scenario-based environmental intelligence to enhance training realism and preparedness. Using historical extremes, AI-driven analytics, and digital-twin methodologies, OpenWeather supports wargaming, simulation, and exercise planning by quantifying how severe and evolving weather conditions affect personnel, assets, and operational outcomes.
Infrastructure and estate resilience planning
OpenWeather supports defence estates and critical infrastructure with climate and environmental risk analysis. By combining historical data, near-real-time monitoring, and future climate projections, we help identify vulnerabilities, inform adaptation strategies, and improve long-term resilience of bases, facilities, and deployed assets.
Energy efficiency and sustainability analysis
We provide environmental intelligence to support energy resilience and sustainability planning across defence operations. This includes analysing weather-driven impacts on energy demand, renewable generation variability, and system performance, helping defence organisations optimise energy strategies in both fixed and expeditionary contexts.
R&D and innovation programmes (e.g. DSTL)
OpenWeather acts as a bridge between operational delivery and applied research. Through rapid field sensing, AI experimentation environments, and academic partnerships, we enable defence R&D programmes to test real-world hypotheses, accelerate innovation, and explore environmental impacts on emerging technologies such as batteries, materials, and autonomous systems.
Data services for defence platforms and integrators
We supply scalable environmental data and analytics for integration into defence platforms, decision-support tools, and digital systems. Our services support system integrators with global weather, climate, and extremes data, enabling enhanced situational awareness, modelling, and mission planning across land, air, maritime, and multi-domain operations.
