AWIPS (formerly know as AWIPS II or AWIPS2) is a weather forecasting display and analysis package developed by the [National Weather Service](http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ost/SEC/AE/) and [Raytheon](http://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/awips/). AWIPS is a Java application consisting of a data-rendering client ([CAVE](http://unidata.github.io/awips2/install/install-cave/), which runs on Red Hat/CentOS Linux, macOS, and Windows), and a backend data server ([EDEX](http://unidata.github.io/awips2/install/install-edex), which runs on x86_64 Red Hat/CentOS 6 and 7). AWIPS (formerly know as AWIPS II or AWIPS2) is a meteorological display and analysis package developed by the [National Weather Service](http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ost/SEC/AE/) and [Raytheon](http://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/awips/) for operational forecasting. AWIPS is a Java application consisting of a data-rendering client ([CAVE](http://unidata.github.io/awips2/install/install-cave/), which runs on Red Hat/CentOS Linux, macOS, and Windows), and a backend data server ([EDEX](http://unidata.github.io/awips2/install/install-edex), which runs on x86_64 Red Hat/CentOS 6 and 7).
AWIPS takes a unified approach to data ingest, and most data types follow a standard path through the system, starting with an [LDM](http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/) client requesting data from Unidata's [IDD](http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/#idd), which are then decoded and stored as HDF5 and PostgreSQL/PostGIS metadata. Unidata supports two visualization frameworks for rendering AWIPS data: AWIPS takes a unified approach to data ingest, and most data types follow a standard path through the system, starting with an [LDM](http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/) client requesting data from Unidata's [IDD](http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/#idd), which are then decoded and stored as HDF5 and PostgreSQL/PostGIS metadata.
