In Booz Allen’s San Antonio office, our data scientists, software developers, and cyber threat intelligence analysts rise to any occasion. Helping Veterans Affairs optimize hospital space planning using virtual reality, assisting engineers with HVAC repair using augmented reality, and generating “synthetic data” in virtual airfields to train artificial intelligence algorithms to detect unexploded ordinates—it’s all in a day’s work in San Antonio.
Imagine using three or more of the highly technical capabilities described above simultaneously on a project with a client who is unfamiliar with the technologies at hand. In San Antonio, Booz Allen unites data scientists and augmented reality experts with DevOps and deep learning experts to translate complex concepts into client-facing, game-changing solutions. For example, AR-Craft Academy is an augmented reality (AR) mobile app built by Booz Allen’s Summer Games interns to teach pilots how to fly a T-6 Texan II trainer aircraft. Users can interact with the 3D, to-scale model via the touch screen on their smartphones to experience more realistic pilot training. It’s those kind of engaging, meaningful user experiences that drive the San Antonio team every day.
What makes Booz Allen’s working team on AR-Craft Academy truly unique is the way the team members collaborated. The diversity of talent supporting the AR-Craft Academy team encouraged creative and adaptive team-based thinking, empowering the Summer Games interns to bring their unique perspectives to the family-style table.
The San Antonio office isn’t just engaged in the local community, they are committed to driving change by partnering with organizations such as The Salvation Army Angel Tree Program and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Employees work year-round to raise tens of thousands of dollars and provide critical volunteer support that leverages employee networks, professional skills, and an office-wide commitment to Passionate Service.
This past December, the San Antonio team adopted 25 families and 73 children in need, to provide them with essentials including clothing and groceries and toys for those children who may have otherwise gone without during the holiday season. With their combined efforts leading up to the holidays, they were able to provide over 70 gift bags, 18 bikes, and $3,500 in additional funds to help provide gifts for un-adopted Angels in the program. Since 2008, they have donated $92,000 to support 211 families with 625 children.
The Booz Allen San Antonio office also participates annually in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Light the Night walk as a corporate team, funding over $360,000 toward the cause. In 2018, over 120 employees, friends, and family participated in the walk, and since 2004, over 1,500 have participated.
Additionally, the San Antonio team supports a network of worthy causes including the National Partnership for Women and Families and Cyber Texas.
