It's great to see the USAF veering off the usual DoD acquisition roadmap and addressing a major software challenge that plagues tanker operations. Hoping that the 'Kessel Run' team is only the beginning of many more projects that will get critical software & hardware systems into the hands of operators faster. Also, a big fan of the #AgileAF T-Shirt.

I would have loved to have had this last year when I did two months planning tanker sorties at the AOC at Nellis for Red Flag.
I did not have a white board. I reinvented the wheel by making a spread sheet that tracked sorties. On the daily planning we had to figure out how much fu would be given out set up the sorties, and someone had to manually enter that.
I think the DOD needs to look for more internal solutions, the contracting process is busted.
