Enduvo Receives Historic Authority to Operate From United States Air Force

CHICAGO, September 5, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Enduvo, the leading content creation platform for communication and immersive learning, announced today that it has been granted Authority to Operate (ATO) by the United States Air Force (USAF). This landmark decision positions Enduvo as the first-ever no-code platform enabling trainers to create experiential learning environments for complex military training topics. The multi-year partnership with Enduvo has quickly resulted in the development of USAF curriculum for initial pilot training, instrument updates, engine systems, and biomedical device checklists among others. 

Enduvo's Authority to Operate to run IL2 data on Air Force Networks means the company plays a critical role in the modernization and enhancement of the USAF's training curriculum. The platform's ability to simplify the creation of interactive virtual education courses — while integrating various forms of multimedia — has already had a positive impact on the speed of training and communications within the USAF. Given the intricacies of contemporary air combat systems, artificial intelligence applications, and cyber defense measures, the USAF can now rapidly adapt its training programs to meet ever-evolving challenges with the help of Enduvo. 

Recent studies show that experiential learning technologies like Enduvo significantly improve knowledge comprehension and retention. According to a 2020 study by PwC, employees trained through virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) were up to four times more focused than in traditional learning environments and completed training 1.5 times faster.*

"This Authority to Operate is not just an accreditation, it's an affirmation of the new era and effectiveness of immersive technology and experiential learning," said Steve Garrou, Enduvo's CEO. "We are committed to setting new benchmarks in learning comprehension, retention, and real-world application for our nation's defenders and their corporate partners." 

The process for USAF ATO approval is complex and includes an extensive threat risk assessment of all Information Technology on AFNet through a Risk Management Framework (RMF). To aid in this process, Enduvo partnered with Ingalls Information Security to serve as a trusted advisor to help develop Enduvo's DoD RMF process. The partnership with Ingalls was important to achieving the ATO approval with the USAF. 

"This underscores a pivotal moment in the evolution of modern military training," said Jason Ingalls, CEO and founder of Ingalls Information Security. "By leveraging immersive technology, the USAF is revolutionizing training methods to meet the dynamic needs of today's defense ecosystem. We are immensely proud to partner with and serve as a trusted vendor to Enduvo in this transformative endeavor."
