The '''disruptive solutions process''' ('''DSP''') is a formdecision-making ofprocess iterative,used low-cost,by first-to-marketthe development[[United States Air Force]] and [[Air National Guard]]. It was created in 2005 by [[fighter pilot]] and [[United States Air Force]]/[[Air National Guard]] [[Colonel (United States)|Colonel]] Edward Vaughan and is iterative, low-cost, and first-to-market in nature.<ref>[http://www.defenselink.mil/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=53044 Face of Defense: Air Guardsman Entrepreneurial Approach..]</ref> It is primarily used by the [[Air National Guard]] to prevent mishaps during the [[combat operations process]].

==Overview==

Line 12:

To address the cultural issues associated with mishap prevention in a large bureaucracy, the [[Air National Guard]] safety directorate used Boyd's [[OODA Loop|Observe, Orient, Decide, Act Loop]] to assess the effectiveness of the process. This was the origin of DSP.

DSP is persistent and adaptive:<blockquote>"Persistence is about refusing to give up even in the face of adversity. Adaptation is about shortening the time to success through ingenuity and flexibility. 'Adaptive persistence' entails alternating between anticipation, changing course, and sticking with it, deftly navigating that paradox with aplomb."<ref>[http://blogs.harvardbusiness.org/gergen-vanourek/2009/04/fending-off-the-recession-with.html Adaptive Persistence article from HBR]</ref></blockquote>

==History==

The disruptive solutions process was first used in 2004, when a joint team led by Vaughan created Project ''Black Mountain''. The project evolved from a combined requirement to share real-time tactical data among ground and air forces, as well as avoid [[mid-air collision]]s within the [[area of responsibility]]. The term 'disruptive' was borrowed from the marketing term "[[disruptive technologies]]".

More recently, DSP has been used in the [[Air National Guard]] and [[USAF|the United States Air Force]] to field mishap prevention programs:

* ''WingmanDay.org'': provides tools for commanders, leaders, and care practitioners. In 2011, the program was relaunched as ''Wingman Day''. The Air Force Safety Center took the RealBase Toolkit concept and developed one-stop-shopping online tool kits hosted on the secure Air Force Portal.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.wingmanday.org/ |title=Wingman Day |access-date=November 28, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161202213017/http://wingmanday.org/ |archive-date=December 2, 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

* ''[[Wingman Project]]'': a suicide intervention initiative that shows family and friends of distressed Airmen how to intervene to save a life, providing training in 54 U.S. states and territories.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20091006181638/http://www.WingmanProjectwingmanproject.org/ The Wingman Project]}}</ref>
