Comment: Source 1 appears to be independent, but the section about BESPIN is based on statements from the org (so not secondary). The others are all primary and/or non-independent. bonadea contributions talk 16:05, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
The Business Enterprise Systems Product Innovation (BESPIN) Software Factory is a software development entity within the United States Air Force. The military unit specializes in creating mobile and web-based software solutions.[1] BESPIN is associated with the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. The organization operates out of Maxwell Air Force Base’s Gunter Annex, providing software solutions to support Air Force operations. [2] They have worked with the city of Montgomery, Alabama, maintaining a downtown office contracted with the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce.[3]
History
[edit]BESPIN was established in late 2019 as the third software factory within the United States Air Force. It was created following the establishment of other software factories, including Kessel Run. In 2020, Dr. William Roper, the Secretary of the Air Force at that time, allocated $21 million in initial funding to support the factory.[4]
Partnerships
[edit]As part of Air Force Material Command, BESPIN engages in collaborations with various government agencies to advance software development and address shared technical challenges. This includes working Air Education and Training Command with applications such as Digital University.[5][6]
