What’s the story?
A USAF contract under which Enduvo delivers interactive courseware for aircraft maintenance, pilot training, egress and fuels has been extended through to 2028.
Why it matters
Air Force subject matter experts can keep courseware current as aircraft and procedures change, rather than commissioning new development every time a technical order is revised.
The bigger picture
The pattern here is human plus AI authoring rather than AI replacement, with experts shaping and approving every draft, and Enduvo offering that chain as a layer others can build on
August 6, 2026 – Enduvo, a provider of immersive and artificial intelligence (AI)-native training authoring technology, has this week announced that the United States Air Force (USAF) has extended its Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract through September 28, 2028.
The extension runs for two years and follows the original award in 2023. Enduvo put the value of the IDIQ contract at USD $10 million. Work under it focuses on modernizing aircraft maintenance and technical training across multiple Air Force organizations.
Enduvo combines immersive technology and AI to give creation tools to the experts who do the work, as opposed to engineers or programmers. The company stated that since the award, it has delivered training across Air Force maintenance and technical organizations on the Enduvo platform. Under the contract, the company has delivered interactive courseware across Air Force training commands and depot maintenance organizations, covering aircraft maintenance, pilot training, egress, fuels, aerospace ground equipment, and other technical specialties.
Courseware on the company’s AI-native authoring platform begins as a draft that AI generates from source material, which subject matter experts then shape and approve. According to Enduvo, those experts build and update training directly, without software developers or design teams, and courses can be revised and redeployed across the organization when technical orders change, keeping instruction standardized across locations.
Enduvo also pointed to a USAF effectiveness study in which maintainers training on its platform improved average test scores from 25.6% to 98.6%.
Commenting on the extension, Steve Garrou, Chairman and CEO at Enduvo, said: “The Air Force doesn’t extend contracts for promises; they extend them for results. Our job through 2028 is to keep making it more efficient for their subject matter experts to build and update training as aircraft and procedures change.”
Enduvo stated that it has been building AI solutions since 2018. The company also noted that its patents were filed before the current wave of AI tools existed and cover every stage from capturing expertise through to generating and governing it. As a result, this allows Enduvo’s solution to sit underneath partner platforms as a “capability layer”, according to the company.
