Any entry level UX designer would tell you that you can’t pack more and more control into an opaque and confusing system and still lay all the responsibility on

  >I really wonder, what does UX testing and iteration look like at Northrup-Grumman? It's probably very limited, if it even exists at all. What I'm betting happens is that somebody says "The Navy needs a new widget for X purpose!". and the only input the designer gets to have is where it goes. I'd love to hear how UX designers in research challenged areas such as the military do their testing. It's not like they can just go on UserTesting.com and get feedback from somebody for $10 a test.

  >>I really wonder, what does UX testing and iteration look like at Northrup-Grumman? As someone who worked daily with two different NG-produced command and control systems, it's probably between "non-existent" and "flaming dumpster fire". https://www.northropgrumman.com/Capabilities/C2PC/Pages/default.aspx https://www.northropgrumman.com/Capabilities/C2PC/Pages/defa... https://dzone.com/articles/war-fighter-netbeans-platform https://dzone.com/articles/war-fighter-netbeans-platform Agile Client is the better of the two apps UI/UX-wise, close to a clunky, old version of Google Earth. Newer versions of C2PC are a polished turd, advancing the app's interface from 1995 to 2005.....despite hitting the operating forces around 2017-2018. We had bug submissions on some key mission-critical visualization features in the new version with patch turn-around times looking like 9-12 months at best.
