Case Study: Raytheon achieves faster, more intuitive missile defense operations with Visual Logic UX redesign

Raytheon cuts training time with Visual Logic using a 3D C2 redesign

Visual Logic partnered with Raytheon to address a critical challenge with its Patriot missile defense command and control (C2) system. The legacy interface was extremely complex, requiring months of training for soldiers to become operational. This outdated 2-D system buried key information and created a high cognitive load, which was dangerously inefficient during high-stakes, time-sensitive threat interception scenarios.

The solution implemented by Visual Logic involved a fundamental redesign centered on modern 3D spatial design principles and progressive disclosure of information. This created an instinctual, game-like experience that warfighters could navigate with little-to-no advanced training. The results were significant, with the new system achieving an "Excellent" System Usability Scale score, a greatly improved task completion ratio, and ratings of "Very Easy" for task ease. Visual Logic's work minimized cognitive load, improved situational awareness, and dramatically decreased the decision-making timeline for operators.
