User Interface Prototyping Toolkit (UIPT)

Abstract

This report is focused on detailing a design philosophy implementation in the form of a User Interface Prototyping Toolkit (UIPT) constitutes a software application for use by Fleet user, researchers, designers, and developers to aid in rapid engagement with end users in an agile design process. The toolkit allows rapid development of user interfaces (UIs) for collaborative exploration and validation of new concepts of operations (CONOPS) and new technology for decision-making and situational awareness. The applied improvement in exploration and analysis of software systems applies no matter the production stage. This product allows researchers, designers and developers to quickly develop new or modify existing UIs as designers work alongside Fleet users in a collaborative design effort. The design effort applies to existing or novel missions utilizing tasks and CONOPs as drivers for meaningful requirements and design input. The UIPT toolkit effort is targeted to Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) and Cyber missions for the U.S. Navy. UIPT enables the Navy to significantly reduce the risks associated with pursuing revolutionary technology such as autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence and distributed sensing in terms of the design of the user interface. The UIPT toolkit provides the ability to explore, analyze, develop and test systems that maximize human interaction and efficiency via the interface for these new and evolving CONOPs and systems.
