SMART Military Solutions
Accelerate communication When every second counts, your technology solutions must be agile. They should offer compelling collaboration and training tools to swiftly disseminate information in a training or briefing room, or engage in real-time discussion with personnel thousands of miles away. An integrated solution
SMART solutions offer a breakthrough combination of integrated data sharing and interactive whiteboards and displays that make connecting fast and simple. With our easy walk-up-and-use solutions, there are virtually no learning curves. Easily connect multiple interactive whiteboards or displays to seamlessly share ideas and information with participants in the same room or personnel on another continent. Make notes on any screen in digital ink, even over moving or still video, for all participants to see. At the end of a session, you can save your notes with a simple touch of the interactive whiteboard or display. Whether you are hosting a training session, conducting after-action reporting or strategizing with personnel worldwide, SMART has a technology solution designed to help you meet your goals.
Capture  Visually engage participants Critical training sessions come alive when partnered with SMART training solutions. SMART products bring a visual, interactive dimension offering the trainer the ability to instantly draw attention to key concepts, add crucial information, access maps and add relevant notes. Complex tasks are taught efficiently and session materials can be saved for reuse in future sessions.
Take simulation training to new heights
Simulation training becomes even more valuable when combined with the power of an interactive whiteboard or display and integrated data sharing. When simulations replace models, effective training can take place anytime, anywhere. With an interactive whiteboard or display, trainers can visually demonstrate procedures, write over animations and clarify instructions by making notes in digital ink. Plus, with the ability to add multiple interactive displays, an increasing number of participants can interact with the simulation software to practice procedures and tasks.
Break into teams with multiple displays
In a training room with multiple interactive whiteboards or displays, learners can build knowledge through collaboration and hands-on practice. Session participants can break out into groups to work on materials simultaneously. Groups can spend time on multiple displays to practice tasks, collaborate on complex problems or add notes to session objectives. Collaboration is as simple as the touch of a finger to the display as groups slide their materials back and forth between displays.
  attention Share session materials with ease With SMART solutions, session information isn’t confused by handwritten notes. Participants can focus on the material while concepts remain intact and accurate. The trainer saves and shares session materials and notes with a simple touch of the finger.
Expand and evaluate learning
Computer lab instruction is enhanced when the entire lab can be managed from the trainer’s desktop. Share desktops to help the group better understand a concept. Send tests to participants and tabulate their results automatically. SMART offers tools to help you ensure participants stay focused and training time is structured efficiently.
Collaborate 
  globally Collaborate with teams anywhere With automated data sharing built in to SMART collaboration solutions, distance training and collaboration is seamless. When an immediate response to a crisis situation is required, you can connect with key participants throughout the world in minutes and collaborate as if you were in the same room.
Seamlessly share information
Effectively collaborate with personnel even when they’re in the field, without compromising the quality of your communication. With automated data sharing, you can clearly explain key messages in briefings and debriefings by sharing information interactively to all meeting participants – regardless of their physical location. Travel costs are reduced and all participants can interact with briefing materials.
Easily capture and sort notes
Powerful collaboration generates numerous ideas and materials throughout a session. With SMART collaboration solutions, capture your meeting notes and materials as thumbnails on-screen. At the end of the session, you can easily sort notes into key categories and disseminate materials to participants in seconds.
