WR-ALC virtual reality paint simulator enhances classroom experience

Aircraft painters in the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex can now hone their trade virtually. Painters with the 588th Aircraft Maintenance Support Squadron Corrosion Control shop at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, are some of the first to do their refresher paint training in a virtual paint simulator.

Excited to hear how the Sustainment Strategic Framework and Tesseract AF is progressing in the weeks to come. Big news on the horizon! Lt Gen Warren Berry's Advanced Manufacturing Olympics message from AF RSO event -- October 20-23, 2020.

A team of Airmen at Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson had a concern about deploying short notice. They noticed that Airmen were spending a lot of time standing in line at a warehouse waiting on mobility gear, rather than generating sorties. Capt Jamey Shuls and his teammates at JBER envisioned an app that allows Airmen to fully kit and order their mobility gear before they even show up to the warehouse. This concept, called URSUS, is now a Tesseract pathfinder. As a strategic partnership with the Air Force Research Lab Information Directorate, the goal of URSUS is to code and field an enhanced user-interface application to connect and co-exist with our legacy #logistics IT systems. Even now, Airmen across the country are driving readiness forward by testing the prototype and paving the way for an incredible #transformation... only possible because folks like SSgt Meyer and Capt Shuls not only think big, they put #action behind those thoughts to make them become a reality. #LeadBoldly Capt Sophia Rizzo Tesseract AF

Based on a treasure trove of data our Foundations project seeks to give leaders tools that help them build a culture of empowerment in their organization by developing psychological safety, increasing feedback, and generating #trust. Lieutenant General Berry highlighted optimizing manpower and getting after retention in his recent White Paper “An Enterprise View of the Compounding Risk in Sustainment.” He keyed into a 2019 retention survey that highlighted mid-tier enlisted claiming that higher stress, excessive workload, lack of manpower, poor #leadership and negative intra-organizational climates were central to an Airman’s decision to depart the Air Force. Creating an environment where leaders can build and sustain positive unit #culture and climates is critical to innovation. Capt Sophia Rizzo Tesseract AF

Innovation requires inventiveness and a commitment to experiment and test hypotheses. Along the way, we expect to be misunderstood and welcome the opportunity to bring others along to see the vision we are working toward. In this sense, when learning is baked into our goals, we can succeed even when projects or pathfinders fail. Capt Sophia Rizzo Tesseract AF

We collaborate with thousands of Airmen and their IDEAS to address current problems. We align those ideas with the Readiness-SSF. We then graduate a small-number of high-potential ideas to experiment with them as PROJECTS. Capt Sophia Rizzo Tesseract AF

No different from how a jet engine takes in and combusts cold air to produce thrust, we collect problem statements and innovative ideas from Airmen, partner with them, and produce solutions. Capt Sophia Rizzo Tesseract AF
