Chiron’s team collaborated with Tuva (Akima group child company) on a project lasting over 6 months, focused on analyzing, gathering feedback, and redesigning the outdated website and mobile applications of the Navigation Center, the Coast Guard’s center of excellence for electronic positioning, navigation, and timing. Chiron’s team conducted a thorough analysis of the website structure, mobile app architecture, and database hierarchy, while leveraging user feedback and modern design trends to propose a refreshed UI/UX. The technical implementation involved code analysis with Visual Studio, Eclipse, and Xcode, and wireframes were developed using Adobe Cloud Products.
Navigation platform and mobile apps (NAVCEN) redesign
Chiron’s vastly experienced team worked with Tuva (Akima Group’s sister outlet) on a project that necessitated feedback solicitation, redesigning, and mobile app integration of the US Coast Guard’s Navigation Center. The six-month-plus project saw a close collaboration with Tuva to improve users’ experiential journey as they are treated to a functional website and mobile app to enable them to access vital functions such as remote navigation, electronic positioning, and vessel monitoring.

About The Project
The project addressed the challenges of an outdated look and feel, integration with third-party services, and a substantial database.
-
Problem
The US Coast Guard faced challenges with an outdated website and mobile applications for iOS and Android platforms.
These platforms lacked modern design and features, despite having integrations with third-party services and a large database. Additionally, the separate administration portal added complexity to site configuration and information management.
-
Solution
A UI/UX designer helped create a new and improved look for the website and mobile applications based on user feedback and modern design trends.
As part of the solution, Chiron’s team collaborated closely with the US Coast Guard’s Navigation Center (NavCen) IT department to analyze the website structure, database hierarchy, and mobile application architecture. Proposed solutions included redesigning the user interface, updating the features and functionality, and streamlining the administration portal for improved site management.
