Xtend Defense

Defense training program delivers 40% improvement in operational readiness

Xtend Defense, a leader in AI-assisted tactical robotics, develops multi-platform solutions for modern battlefields. Operating in some of the most challenging environments on Earth, including GPS and COMMS-denied situations, Xtend’s technologies provide combat agility, effectiveness, and superiority. The company sought a comprehensive training program to certify Xtender operators, a micro tactical indoor ISR system, specifically designed for operators with no previous flight experience.

Challenge

Xtend Defense required a robust training solution that addressed several unique challenges, including:

Because Xtender was specifically designed for operators with no flight experience, trainees came from varied backgrounds, ranging from seasoned military personnel to individuals with limited experience in robotics or tactical operations. This diversity required a training program adaptable to different skill levels and learning styles.

Existing materials primarily focused on theoretical knowledge and lacked the interactivity and practical focus required for mastering drone operation in real-world scenarios. For example, traditional manuals provided dense technical explanations but failed to offer step-by-step demonstrations or scenario- based problem-solving exercises.

Solution

Amarel designed and delivered comprehensive training program tailored to Xtend Defense’s specific needs. The training program was designed to support a diverse operator base, incorporating multilingual resources and culturally adaptive materials where necessary. The program addressed all identified challenges through the following components:

Hands-On Training Focus

The course emphasized practicalexercises, with 80% of the curriculum dedicated to hands-on training and 20% to theoretical content.

Scenario-Based Learning

Realistic training scenarios that mirrored the high-stakes environments operators would encounter in the field. These scenarios included GPS- and COMMS-denied simulations and multi-mission operations.

On-the-Job Training (OJT) Booklets

Step-by-step guides provided operators with actionable instructions for a variety of scenarios, from routine operations to advanced troubleshooting.

Video Tutorials

High-quality visual demonstrations illustrated key techniques and operational workflows, making complex concepts easier to understand.

Assessments

Written and practical evaluations ensured operators achieved proficiency before certification.

Results

The hands-on focus and scenario-based learning enabled operators to build confidence and mastery in drone operation, even in the most challenging conditions. Rigorous training and assessments reinforced critical safety protocols, resulting in a measurable reduction in operational errors. The program’s modular design ensures it can evolve alongside Xtend’s technology, maintaining relevance over time.
