The Naval Air Systems Command is providing the Navy and the Marine Corps with digital applications to help the services with their launch and recovery tracking operations.
The command’s latest offering is the E-28 dashboard, a tool that monitors international military sites and provides visualizations of collected data to defense stakeholders, NAVAIR said Monday.
Built for the Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment Program Office by Tarun Patel of Digital Application Developer, the E-28 dashboard allows users to view airfield gear status, planned inspections and manning and supply deficiencies. The tool also informs decision-making and provides users with enhanced situational awareness.
What Does E-28 Do?
According to Patel, the dashboard enables warfighters to solve problems faster and face adversaries more efficiently. To date, the developer has delivered 14 digital tools to the Navy, including the Nimitz Launch and Recovery Readiness Tool, which supports real-time observation for aircraft carriers.
Justin Homme, Nimitz-class level two integrated product lead, described the dashboard tools as ‘complete game-changers,’ noting that they reduce work hours and increase safety and visibility.
Following the E-28 digital dashboard’s demonstration in October, Patel will again showcase the tool to a NAVAIR command leadership team. The demo will occur in the coming months once the system is fed with several months of data.
