Mission Planning and Execution

Tablet Galileo is a revolutionary project I conceptualized, aiming to create a user-centric system that centralizes information and provides a seamless end-to-end experience for pilots. Designed as a daily companion, this advanced tablet serves as a tactical tool, presenting mission plans, requests, and real-time updates. It unifies all Air Force applications into a single, intuitive interface.
The vision of Tablet Galileo is to empower users by delivering relevant content and tasks based on their status, role, and needs, eliminating the need for extensive training. It serves as a comprehensive task management and control tool for Israeli Air Force pilots.
Mission Control
My aim was to showcase my vision for optimizing the utilization of Air Force systems while providing pilots with a comprehensive view of their daily activities. From the moment they leave their homes to the conclusion of their missions, including briefings, preparations, airborne operations, and post-mission investigations, Tablet Galileo offers an unparalleled level of situational awareness.

Basics and User-Centric Approach

Scope

The system encompasses a wide range of operational activities, presenting the most relevant and vital information in intuitive displays. It features an integrated map and route planning functionality, a comprehensive calendar with event visualization and much more, catering to the diverse needs of Air Force personnel

Unique Abilities

Tablet Galileo empowers pilots with real-time capabilities to receive objectives, calculate data, and execute missions swiftly, maximizing operational efficiency and adaptability.

Information Architecture

Meticulous attention to information architecture resulted in a logical and intuitive structure. Techniques such as site mapping, navigation models, and content hierarchies were employed to enhance usability and streamline access to critical data.

Research and Analysis

To understand the unique requirements of pilots across various ranks and backgrounds, I conducted extensive user interviews. The insights gleaned from these interviews guided me in identifying crucial features and crafting an intuitive user experience.

For instance, one key revelation highlighted the importance of providing pilots with pre-flight briefing schedules,

a feature currently lacking in field operations.

Compatibility

With meticulous attention to detail, I ensured seamless integration with existing Air Force systems and terminologies. Tablet Galileo embraces both aesthetic and functional adaptations for the tablet interface, acknowledging that the contemporary Air Force systems primarily function on desktop computers.

Users

Tablet Galileo caters to a diverse user base, including pilots from different backgrounds with varying levels of digital literacy. By simulating their daily experiences, I fine-tuned the user journey to ensure seamless interactions and help them achieve their goals effortlessly.

Sarah, a 27-year-old mandatory service pilot, utilizes Tablet Galileo's interface, real-time capabilities, and comprehensive functionality. It enhances her situational awareness, streamlines daily operations, and sets her up for success as a next-generation Air Force pilot.

Dan, a 48-year-old reserve pilot, values the need for a clear and easy-to-learn system. user-friendly interface ensures that Dan can quickly understand and utilize its features. This simplicity allows Dan to focus on his missions and make informed decisions without the need for extensive training.

Design

The design phase posed unique challenges, as I had to harmonize the intricate details while accommodating the individual preferences of the diverse user base. In addition to creating a comprehensive design system, I focused on maintaining design consistency with existing desktop systems, while adapting them to the tablet form factor.

User Testing and Iteration

Rigorous user testing and iterative improvements played a crucial role in refining the Tablet Galileo experience. During testing, I received valuable feedback that helped me optimize map design, particularly the light mode default, which seamlessly transitioned to a dark mode for evening flights, ensuring optimal visibility and reducing pilot fatigue.
