Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex, GA / 402nd Software Engineering Group (SWEG)
Blue Sky was established in 2019 by the 402nd Software Engineering Group (SWEG) as a Platform One node alongside SkiCAMP and Thunder CAMP. It was founded in partnership with Mercer University in downtown Macon, GA.
According to a RAND report the software factory helped “both new and legacy software development teams leverage Platform One services and provide consulting on adopting more-modern DevSecOps approaches to software development.”
As of 2020, Blue Sky has 60 civilian personnel making it the larger in personnel size than both the other software factories it was established alongside.
Note: This software factory may be defunct. The last reference to Blue Sky that could be found was in 2022. Blue Sky is no longer listed on the USAF’s software factory website.
*The Warner-Robins Air Logistics Complex opened a new MQ9-Reaper facility in July 2022. Blue Sky is potentially assisting with this, as one article notes that the 402nd SWEG will be directly involved in the program.
