What Is The “Matas” App?

What Is The “Matas” App?

Every year, on Israel's Independence Day, the IAF performs a large-scale flyover (מטס). This tradition, featuring over 100 aircrafts, has become an integral symbol of the holiday.

To enhance this experience for the public, my department developed a dedicated app and website that allows citizens to track the flyover in real-time, see which aircraft are participating, and find optimal viewing points.

The public's anticipation and excitement for the flyover grow each year, and our team dedicates months to its preparation. In its last use (2023), the system gained immense popularity, gaining over a million uses on the day of the flyover.

My role in this project was to design the system's management interface. At the core of this interface is a main critical feature called "תנועת מבנים", which allows the lead operator to publish real-time updates to flight schedules and delays. However, this management interface had a history of failure, undergoing several unsuccessful redesigns. When I took over the project, I realized a fundamental repair was needed, starting with in-depth research to finally create a reliable solution.

The Flyover Management Process

The Flyover Management Process

While the public sees a finished schedule in the app, a lengthy and complex process takes place behind the scenes. The Israeli Air Force is composed of numerous squadrons, each managing different aircraft types. For months, the lead operator (and our interface's primary user) aggregates flight plans from these squadrons to create the flyover’s routes.

The lead officer defines points on a map to create a route. Each route is then assigned to specific formations of aircraft. It is crucial to note that all initial planning is done on a secure military network. My interface was designed to bridge this gap, enabling the seamless transfer and management of this information in the civilian environment.

Through the interface I designed, the lead officer can define routes and points, set arrival times for each formation, and, most importantly, manage them in real-time, a feature I will expand on later.

Our Main (and only) User

Our lead (and sole) user is the Head of the Flyover Operations. This officer, typically a UAV pilot in their mid-20s, serves in a staff role. It's important to note that this is a highly dynamic position, often rotating between flyovers, resulting in a high turnover rate for our lead user.

They are responsible for the logistical and operational planning of all flyover events for the year, from preparing the flight routes to the final schedule. The initial planning is conducted on military systems, and a key part of their role is ensuring the information is uniformly transferred to our civilian-facing interface.

Within the management interface, the officer's tasks include implementing small changes to route waypoints, route types, and participating aircraft. However, their primary and most critical task is to handle unexpected real-time changes during the flyover. This allows them to update users at viewing points with the precise location of each aircraft and its expected arrival time.

A History of Unsuccessful Interfaces

The system had a history of failure, suffering from several fundamental issues.

The initial management process had no UI, which required developers to make code changes for even minor updates.
To address this, a new interface was later created, but it was designed without any user research, based solely on personal assumptions. This resulted in a tool that was complex, non-intuitive, and ultimately unreliable, leaving a significant gap between the system and the user's actual needs.

The User Turnover Problem

The User Turnover Problem

The User Turnover Problem

A key challenge that plagued all previous versions was the high turnover rate for the lead operator. This is a highly dynamic position that rotates frequently.

The problem of user turnover became even more critical due to the war, which has led to a two-year cancellation of the flyover and left the role unassigned. As a result, there was no active user to work with or validate the designs in real-time.

This is the point at which I joined the project.

I started the project by reviewing the existing project designs and previous specifications. While much of the system was built from straightforward generic forms, it quickly became clear that the "תנועת מבנים" feature was ambiguous and poorly documented.

This realization forced a crucial pivot in my process: instead of relying on the flawed specifications, I understood that a formal research process had never been conducted for this critical feature.

Knowing that I had no active lead user at the time, I decided to go directly to the source and conduct in-depth interviews with previous operators to truly understand their needs and challenges. This allowed me to embark on a mission to research the unknown, gathering the critical insights that would guide my redesign of this specific feature.

My research was primarily based on qualitative user research to understand the root cause of the problems. I conducted in-depth interviews with two former lead operators who had managed the flyover over the past three years. They became my most reliable source of information, providing firsthand accounts of their experiences with the system. This allowed me to gather diverse perspectives and critical insights that were instrumental in shaping the final product.

The previous system wasn’t built for a high-pressure, time-sensitive environment. Unexpected changes, like delays or early arrivals, were nearly impossible to adjust quickly. My research showed that the redesigned system must prioritize agility, allowing users to perform critical updates with no friction to ensure data accuracy.

Version A

Excel Spreadsheet

The initial version of the management tool was a simple, multi-page Excel spreadsheet. It included a sheet for each aircraft type, each waypoint, and a dedicated sheet for each specific route.

circle-question

How it worked

The operator would load the Excel file at the start of the flyover. Any changes, such as route adjustments, required the operator to make manual edits directly on the spreadsheet and then re-upload the entire file.

circle-minus

What was missing

The system lacked any real-time functionality. It operated with fixed time intervals that did not reflect reality, making it impossible to implement or view time changes during the route. This created a significant time gap and led to an inaccurate representation of the flyover.

This prototype introduces the overall system flow. It demonstrates the process of manually adding or adjusting "Waypoints" (N.Z.) just days before the event. While the core data is imported from classified military systems, this interface provides the flexibility to fine-tune the public-facing map, ensuring total alignment between operational planning and the civilian experience.

Note: The interactive map components shown in these prototypes are for visualization purposes only. The production-ready mapping engine is integrated within the secure operational network and cannot be shown here

To address the critical need for real-time agility, this view offers a "top-down" look at specific flight paths. Managers can monitor every aircraft's exact position and status. The core innovation here is the "T +/-" feature: a single action that allows operators to implement delays or advancements across the entire formation. This ensures that a single technical delay is instantly reflected across the timeline, keeping the public informed without friction.

Ensuring Order

High-pressure environments require dynamic viewpoints. This prototype visualizes the flyover from the perspective of a specific location (N.Z). By monitoring all intersecting flight paths at a single point, operators can identify and prevent scheduling overlaps. This ensures a smooth, safe, and organized sequence, maintaining the integrity of the flyover’s complex schedule.

We are still waiting to find out. Due to the ongoing war, the IAF Flyover has not taken place for three years. I remain hopeful that my work will prove its worth on our next Independence Day!

While the final launch is pending, the system was thoroughly tested and presented to the officers who participated in the research phase. The feedback was positive, validating that the new interface effectively addresses the critical need for agility and real-time synchronization.

This was a deeply meaningful project, designed to impact millions of citizens behind the scenes. It challenged me to find creative solutions and build a mission-critical process without direct access to the primary end-user during every stage. I believe I have done my utmost to ensure this system simplifies complexity when it matters most.

See you at the next flyover!
