OVERVIEW OF BESPIN EFFORTS
Overall BESPIN Strategy Support:
Strategic Human Centered Design and Cultural/Change Management – Restless Creations – Execution, Cultural Change, Change Management, and User research and design focused support.
Native Mobile:
Drudonna: Mobile platform, development “at the edge” every day airmen with the attributes to develop software will be given the tools, training, open source platform, to help solve Air Force problems at the speed of the mission. Vice Chief of Staff award – pending funding to begin execution.
Airmen Against Drunk Driving – A2D2 – Keeping our airmen safe (BESPIN Mobile Training App): When new airmen come into BESPIN and require mobile application training they will initially be assigned to this development team and newly trained members will fly up other development teams.
CV-22 TOLD – BESPIN Native Application Organic Developers – The application was originally built in Objective C, and was redone in swift, and the UI was failing both were redone and now comply with Apple Standards. The team removed and encrypted the data to comply with security regulations. The team resolved a fatal flaw with the altitude calculation algorithm that was causing a 420ft margin of error.
What’s Up App – AFIMSC – The SO Company and Organic Development. This will become part of Innovate AFITC where by a coding sprint will develop additional features that will support our Airmen better knowing what’s going on, on base, in the communities they are stationed, and it can aide the smart city initiatives.
Wing Feedback App – AFIMSC – Pending vendor – this will help base commanders better understand the delivery of services at each base. This effort is currently pending a vendor the source selection team (includes BESPIN) and development will occur within our lab and with our organic team members involvement.
