3Dsolve Delivers Level 4 Interactive Multimedia Instruction for US Army Radio Communications in Less than Two Months

Problem

When critical equipment such as the Icom F43G radio portable transceiver for in-the-field soldier communications is immediately deployed in the field after purchase, in-classroom training for more than 20,000 soldiers is not a realistic or cost-effective option. Interactive Multimedia Instruction is an attractive alternative, but the creation of these materials typically requires many months of production and validation time.

3Dsolve streamlined that process using its 3Dnerve platform, enabling extraordinarily fast delivery of Level 4 IMI courseware.

Solution

3Dsolve Inc., The Simulation Learning Company, successfully delivered state of the art simulation learning courseware to the US Army Communications-Electronics Life Cycle Management Command (CE-LCMC), designed to provide Level 4 Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI) for the F43G series radio.

The course, which includes more than four hours of training materials combined with two and a half hours of testing and assessment, was created in record-breaking time, exceeding the US Army’s expectations by delivering in less than two months. Typical timelines for Level 4 IMI projects can range up to 12 months and beyond.

This multimedia instruction helps urban-patrolling soldiers leverage the next-generation F43G series portable radios easily and effectively.

3Dsolve will maintain the course by incorporating feedback from field usage in a planned update.
