AFATDS: Mission-Critical Defense System

From its inception over two decades ago, the Army’s Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) has become increasingly difficult to support. The Army responded by awarding a contract that would ultimately establish a more intuitive software user interface, allow easier user training, and enable migration of the system’s software. Although the contractor understood the challenges, they still struggled to determine how best to use modern software frameworks like Angular to deliver the capabilities that the program required. Realizing this shortcoming, they engaged Excella, allowing us to pinpoint potential problems that would cause challenges in the long-term.
