AI-Accelerated Mission Planning

AFSOC aimed to modernize contested mission and logistics planning through the advent of an AI-assisted application. Manmade Creative led the user experience design and application architecture, ensuring that AFSOC's specific operational needs were met and all doctrinal processes and procedures were represented.

Key Impacts:

  • Enhanced mission planning efficiency with AI-driven logistics integration

  • User-centered design validated by extensive feedback from AFSOC personnel

  • Seamless integration boosting operational effectiveness

  • Real-time data analysis to support critical decision-making

Building an AI-Assisted Mission Planning System

Our team collaborated closely with AFSOC Logistics Readiness Officers (LROs) to identify key challenges in mission logistics. Through user research, heuristic evaluations, and usability testing, the GALAGA application was designed to streamline the logistics planning process and provide AI-driven assistance in recommending possible courses of Action (COAs) and simulating effectiveness.

The Result

AFSOC’s mission planning capabilities can now better analyze mission directives and historical data, and integrate operational frameworks, enhancing efficiency and improving the precision of LRO recommendations. Manmade Creative's UX design and strategy leadership has helped the GALAGA team create a transformative tool to enhance operational effectiveness in real-world missions.

Let's build something great.
