MOTAR levels up again to meet ACE/MCA mission requirements under AFRL’s Just-In-Time Multi-Mission Airmen / Warfighter (JITMMA/W) program.

For our United States Air Force's Multi Capable Airmen (MCA), success is not usually found in the most comfortable places. They often live, train, and fight in less-than-ideal environments where just-in-time operational training is critical, and the internet is considered a luxury. These Airmen are living at The Edge - of computing, connectivity, and combat. 

As part of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s (AFRL) Just-in-time, Multi-Mission Airmen/Warfighters (JITMMA/W) efforts to deliver combat power in austere, forward operating locations, the organization has enlisted Dynepic to do what we do best - securely deliver an open ecosystem of mission-critical, immersive content to enable warfighters to level-up their skills anytime, anywhere and on any device, including AR and VR devices.

“This program will result in a variant of our MOTAR-In-A-Box (MIAB) that can be deployed and configured in austere and internet-challenged environments to bring a digital information overlay to the environment that leverages training and operational content from MOTAR’s Hub. This will give Airmen the tactical advantage during combat operations at The Edge,” said Krissa Watry, Dynepic’s Co-Founder and CEO. 

With MOTAR’s Authorization to Operate (ATO) allowing it to connect to military networks and transmit Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), deploying training content has never been easier. Under this Phase I effort, Dynepic will develop a Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and technology roadmap for how MOTAR can be further enhanced to meet the strict mission requirements for JITMMA/W in combat. 

We’re just a few days away from descending on Orlando, Florida for I/ITSEC ‘23, and on top of our annual traditions (hint: miMOSAs are back!) Dynepic has a few surprises wrapped up this year. 😃

Below is your guide to getting involved in all the goodness, as well as a quick MOTAR 101 as a refresher or for those who are new.

We can’t wait to see you there!

MOTAR 101

• Dynepic’s MOTAR is a platform of platforms for training delivery, analysis, and reporting, and the premier leader in delivering a modular open systems approach (MOSA) and multi-vendor ecosystem to level up US Military training, readiness, and operations.
• Dynepic does NOT create learning and training applications. Our rich ecosystem of today’s cutting-edge vendors takes care of that while we focus on providing a secure backbone infrastructure.
• There are three key services MOTAR provides:

Hub: Discover apps, experiences, lessons, AI, models, and XR building block elements in a central location

Training: Create XR-optimized and multi-modal courses with multi-vendor training content from the Hub, track student skills, and follow along with live learning dashboards.

Studio: Leverage low-code studio tools, API’s, and SDK’s to quickly create and integrate training applications with standardized services and field with rapid ATO tools.

• MOTAR has an Impact Level 4 (IL4) Authority to Operate (ATO) from the United States Air Force, solidifying the secure cloud infrastructure on USAF’s NIPRNet, used for up to Controlled Unclassified (CUI) training.
• So, what’s MOTAR-In-A-Box? MOTAR-In-A-Box (MIAB) allows service members to have the same secure experience and access to MOTAR’s rich ecosystem of training content and applications regardless of connectivity, location, and timezone. No internet? No problem! With MIAB, Airmen can train wherever they are - at a moment’s notice, and even on the frontlines. forward-deployed, austere environment. This includes local, offline, and secure access to multi-modal training content, as well as the ability to locally stream augmented and virtual reality training.

We’ve outlined how:

1. MOTAR-In-A-Box (MIAB) is an evolution of MOTAR
2. The basics of MIAB 
3. How to ensure your application is viable on MIAB

So, #4 in this series answers the question - How exactly does MOTAR-In-A-Box work and enable content delivery without an internet connection? 

Not much today works without an internet connection since “cloud” services are used in almost all software platforms. To get you in the mindset of what an Airman may face downrange in a future fight where the internet is not available, imagine you are on an airplane that doesn’t have WiFi available, and your smartphone is in airplane mode. How many apps work on your phone? Not many, right? 

Now imagine you could download all the entertainment needed for your flight before you took off. Not just a few movies, but the ENTIRE streaming service - including every single show, movies, games, and content available. After takeoff when there is no Internet, you can still use your laptop, tablet, smartphone, or even an eXtended Reality (XR) headset to access the content, AND based upon your login, role, and permissions you have access to some types of content while your travel companion may have access to other types of content based upon their unique profile and access rights. You’re completely set - regardless of when and where you travel!  

This is much like how MOTAR-In-A-Box works. Before Airmen deploy, they download all the possible training content they might need in their operational environment to MIAB. When they're en route or at their deployed location without access to an internet connection, they're all set! They have all the training content they need and they can access it based on their unique profiles and permissions.

Through the MIAB local area WiFi (or even LiFi), any application or content (like 3D models, videos, AI, and more) hosted on MOTAR that doesn’t require an internet connection, will be fully functional in an austere environment. This includes local, offline, and secure access to multi-modal training content, as well as the ability to locally stream augmented and virtual reality training.  

Bottom line - MIAB is the answer to learning and training readiness, empowering our military with a true expeditionary capability anytime, anywhere, even at The Edge! 💪
