What if firefighter training could be faster, smarter, and powered by AI?
In this episode of Keeping IT Brief, we explore how artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) are transforming training in the public sector—starting with the U.S. Air Force.
This award-winning collaboration between the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) and APV is redefining how firefighters train, certify, and prepare for real-world emergencies.
We’re joined by three leaders behind this innovation:
Alton Robinson (AFCEC), Manuel Miranda (APV), and Angela Leavell (APV).
Together, they break down how traditional firefighter training challenges led to the development of an immersive, tech-driven solution—and what it means for mission readiness, workforce training, and the future of defense technology.
We also dive into how AI-powered training platforms, immersive learning, and AR simulations are improving engagement, speeding up certification, and delivering measurable results across the federal landscape.
If you're a millennial professional interested in tech, innovation, or future-forward careers, this episode shows how emerging technology is making real impact—right now.
