# Unidata AWIPS
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/docs/install/install-cave.html), which runs on Red Hat/CentOS Linux, macOS, and Windows, and a backend data server ([EDEX](http://unidata.github.io/awips2/docs/install/install-edex.html), which 64-bit CentOS or RedHat)
