Introducing AmmoOP!

A partnership between DDS and 82nd Airborne Division’s Transformation Team.

Introducing AmmoOp! An exciting new app in testing developed by the brilliant minds of the software developers from the 82nd Airborne Division's Transformation Team and designed by Defense Digital Services (DDS). AmmoOp is the ultimate solution to streamline the ammunition ordering process in alignment with the FY24 STRAC. 🎯

No matter what part of the Army you are in, if you are involved with the ammo ordering process, AmmoOp has got you covered! It includes ALL training events in the STRAC, ensuring comprehensive support for all branches within the Army.

Utilizing the agile design thinking methodology, we created an intuitive app that caters to the needs of our users. Say goodbye to the time-consuming process of completing ammunition requests for Platoon and Company leadership. AmmoOp is here to save the day! 💪⏰

"AmmoOp would not have been possible if DDS hadn't provided us with the expertise of UI/UX designers. When you combine the power of a simple, intuitive design with true, user generated features, you build a product people actually want to use. Our hope is we can show how to build software the right way in the Army and to save soldiers time so we can focus on what truly matters, winning on the battlefield." - SSG Matthew Harp, Product Manager, 82nd Airborne Division

Extensive studies have shown that AmmoOp can save a minimum of 8,991 man hours across the 82nd Airborne Division when compared to the current manual process. Imagine the potential savings if this tool is adopted Army-wide! 💡

Not only does AmmoOp save valuable man hours, but it also reduces the cost of ordering ammunition in the correct quantities. This means future savings for the military as well. 💰

"Through an invaluable partnership, the 82nd and DDS have joined forces to create a powerful tool for the modern warfighter. By embracing design thinking principles and placing users at the forefront, will have ensured the success of this tool and harnessing the potential of AI to enhance their capabilities and effectiveness on the battlefield. It was my privilege to work with the talented 82nd Transformation Team to create and empower the warfighter with a solution tailored to their needs and maximizing its impact on the field. I can't wait to solve another problem with them" - Rebecca Cellarius, Digital Service Expert, DDS

‘This is a great example of the Army embracing human-centered design and building a tool that supports all users and stakeholders and will save the Army valuable time and money. I am really excited to support this app as it scales across the Army.’ - Jennifer Hay, Director of Defense Digital Service

Join the revolution and experience the efficiency of AmmoOp. Say goodbye to tedious paperwork and hello to streamlined ammunition ordering! Projects like AmmoOp are the reason behind DDS’s mission to support the warfighter and we are excited to see the initial success of this application in testing.
