WASHINGTON, DC, October 11, 2022 – Training soldiers to learn their jobs quickly and complete daily tasks safely is critical to achieving high levels of mission readiness and lethality for the United States Army. It requires thousands of manuals, diagrams, and checklists. Paper instructions and videos are costly to print and update and are limited to the perspective of the image or camera angle.

BILT Incorporated provides cloud-hosted 3D interactive mobile intelligent instructions to improve maintenance safety and efficiency and foster cross-functional education and training. BILT helps soldiers learn new tasks quickly and reduces costs and error by eliminating cumbersome paper manuals and lengthy instructional videos.

BILT enables today’s soldiers where they’re most comfortable and competent: on a mobile device, where they have the capability to tap the touchscreen for details about a part or component, pinch to zoom in and out, and rotate the 3D animations 360 degrees.

BILT gathers data analytics on soldier performance. Insights from these metrics allow BILT instruction designers to continuously improve instructions in near real-time. BILT provides a portal for Army program managers and front-line leaders to evaluate training progress and competency with quantifiable data and feedback from soldiers. This enables data analysts to define the most efficient training and maintenance standards.

BILT is available worldwide, both on and off the grid. Hundreds of 3D interactive instruction sets can be downloaded to a single mobile device and accessed without Wi-Fi, saving space, weight, and fuel. BILT not only addresses the Defense Department’s digitization efforts, but also its green initiative to reduce carbon emissions and support sustainability efforts through the reduction of paper manuals.
