Integrated Technology Platform (ITP)

LEARN FASTER, REMEMBER LONGER, APPLY BETTER

The Integrated Technology Platform establishes the “Next” generation of AR/VR/MR training. ITP explores new technologies & methodologies to define how they can integrate with curricula to support future-focused learning for Airmen across all MAJCOMs.

ITP provides access to realistic 3D virtualized aircraft when access to mission aircraft are not available, increase the effectiveness of operational and maintenance training, and reduce the cost of training while increasing the skills and improving knowledge retention of our Airmen.

ITP is a multi-command partnership in an effort to save cost, reduce waste, expedite training, and allow personnel to and expand their network and reach.

ITP enhances learning in the classroom and in other environments where Airmen execute the mission.

The “Virtual Hangar” contains comprehensive Instructor tools and student-led Learning Modules.

Each Learning Module is custom built to meet specific training requirements, ranging from checklist execution to 3D-modeled schematic overlays.

XR modules support requirements for 22 aircraft (and counting!) worldwide. ITP is currently deployed at 44 bases, and continues to grow!

ITP Capture of ICBM at Vandenberg SFB, CA
The ITP Team traveled to Vandenberg SFB, CA 11-15 March 2024 to conduct multiple scans of ICBM training equipment. In collaboration with units from AETC and US Space Force, the ITP is working on the development of a tablet-based Career Development Course (CDC) for the Missile and Space Systems Maintenance Journeyman (2MOX2). This 2AF endeavor represents a first of its kind to utilize 2D technology aimed at enhancing the learner experience.

ITP DEMO at Wright Patterson
The ITP Team is tentatively scheduled to travel to Wright Paterson, AFB the month of May to provide a demonstration of Virtual Hangar F-15 to the F-15EX program office for possible partnership for their training needs. Demonstration exact dates are TBD.

AETC ATO for Network/DAF Learning Integration
The ITP, members of the DAF Learning team and HQ AETC/A6 are working with MVI (under contract) to develop milestones and a way-head to obtain ATO approval for all AETC and their MAJCOM partners (via agreement) to include the ability to integrate ITP training technology, establish content management and provide a delivery system via a commercial ISP or AFNET. This process is on-going the team will provide leadership updates as the team works through this approval process. (In-Work)

Introduction
This Integrated Technology Platform (ITP) User’s Guide is to help users understand and utilize the centralized/decentralized ordering process. The AFSC/PZIE-R Enterprise Acquisition Branch has overall contractual responsibility for contract FA8501-20-D-0002 as the Primary Procuring Contracting Office (PPCO). The AFSC/PZIE-R Program Office (PO) is the organization responsible for centralized program management and oversight of the basic contract. Funding sources will vary; however, the most common form of funding is 3400 (Operations & Maintenance (O&M).
Key Personnel and Responsibilities

The PMO will work with the contractor to obtain any Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) on behalf of the requester as necessary.

Scan Aircraft
ITP has many aircraft already scanned for virtual reality training. . If your platform is not available then a ROM is created and purchased. Our vendor will coordinate a time to scan the aircraft when it and subject matter experts are available. The process for scanning new aircraft platforms normally takes 3-4 days. To start the process, please contact the PMO at aetc.a36.itp@us.af.mil
Training Module Development
ITP has hundred of training modules created and ready for your use. If you require a new training module, our vendor will work with your subject matter experts to create a new story board. Once the story board is approved, it will be converted into the virtual reality environment and reviewed and approved by the SME’s. Once approved it will be available for students to use within the Virtual Hanger classroom. To start the training module process, please contact the PMO at aetc.a36.itp@us.af.mil
Content Delivery
ITP uses the Virtual Hanger platform to deliver your VR training. Virtual Hanger consist of a physical environment with enough space for students to move around (4sq feet per student at minimum), VR workstations, goggles, and controllers. These are currently hardwired by trussells between the student and workstations. Modifications to hardware items will be available when technology improves. If your organization needs a new classroom or expand an existing one, please contact the PMO at aetc.a36.itp@us.af.mil

“I would like for all the tasks to have a program, so that I could learn the systems without fear of damaging actual aircraft equipment.”

“Applies safe by the book methods allowing for good familiarization of the task and aircraft. This forces you to go by the book to ensure adequate understanding.”

“The details in the program were accurate. The accuracy of the layout helped me when I actually performed the task on the flight-line.”

“Our VR units could not have come at a better time because with the real-world missions, all ground trainers have been cancelled this week and classes have been able to continue by using the VR systems!”

“I downloaded the E-4 walk around…. and was completely BLOWN AWAY with the product. I liked the layout of the aircraft and when each section is selected with the laser pointer, the corresponding section is highlighted in the aircraft layout… so so impressed!”

“The Exterior Inspection was perfect. I loved it, and especially the electrical cart. Your team nailed it.”
