Covers the status of efforts for developing better, more comprehensive tools for modeling and forecasting the Earth's trapped radiation environment and its effects on space systems. Reviews the key concepts connected with modeling the radiation environment and its effects and includes a description of the principle models at present available. Gives a long-range plan for enhancement of capabilities in this important environmental area.
