五角大樓表示，爲了迅速獲取天氣信息，以有利於軍隊的調動，美國計劃在飽受戰爭摧殘的阿富汗使用印度衛星提供的服務。

自從歐洲天氣衛星被轉移服務於伊拉克和敘利亞的作戰後，五角大樓決定採用印度衛星，之前也考慮過接受中國衛星服務的可能性，然而經過最初評估，出於對中國黑客的擔心，還是放棄了這一想法。
As a result, the Pentagon decided to useIndian satellite which is already operational and whose data is available atvarious American universities, senior Pentagon officials told US lawmakersduring Congressional hearing on ‘Weather Satellite Programs’ convened by theHouse Science, Space and Technology subcommittee on Environment.
結果，五角大樓決定使用在運行的印度衛星，數據可在不同的美國大學獲取。
