AB: Far ultraviolet remote sensing offers the opportunity to provide a direct and timely measurement of space weather inputs. FUV remote sensing takes advantage of the fact that O2 is a strong absorber in the region between 115 and 185 nm, thus allowing thermospheric and ionospheric emissions to be observed against a dark Earth disk. FUV sensors are relatively light weight, compact, and inexpensive while offering proven technology and well validated products. We will discuss the activities at APL, in the development of sensors and operational software, to afford the user community with near real-time space weather information from FUV sensor data. In particular, we provide thermospheric density, temperature and composition; ionospheric electron density profiles and TEC; and auroral energy deposition. FUV imaging provides the ability to image ionospheric depletions. Examples of these products will be shown and the operational requirements will be discussed. We will also address the needs for future systems and their operational requirements and how they can best be addressed.
