PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
ILT: Booz Allen Hamilton
Developing mission-ready training for complex drone threats.
In 2024, Booz Allen Hamilton partnered with DroneShield to support U.S. Army field trainers responsible for teaching emerging counter-UAS technologies. Carolyn transformed complex technical information into structured, engaging instructor-led training materials designed to support consistent delivery and validate soldier readiness.

01 — THE NEED
Turning complex technology into clear instruction
Booz Allen Hamilton needed effective training materials to help U.S. Army field trainers teach soldiers how to identify and disarm emerging drone threats.
The technical subject matter required more than detailed documentation. Trainers needed clear instructional guidance, structured lesson content, and practical ways to explain complex concepts while assessing learner understanding.
The goal was to translate advanced counter-UAS technology into accessible, mission-focused instruction that trainers could deliver confidently and consistently.
02 — PROCESS
From technical content to effective training
Working closely with DroneShield's technical experts and Booz Allen's internal stakeholders, Carolyn developed a structured approach to instructional design.
01 — Content
analysis
Reviewed complex technical information and translated key capabilities into learner-friendly explanations.
02 — Instructional design
Developed storyboards and structured lesson flows aligned with training objectives and U.S. Army standards.
03 — Instructor support
Produced detailed presenter notes to guide explanations, demonstrations, and consistent delivery.
04 — Knowledge assessment
Created valid and reliable assessments that Army instructors could use to certify learners.
03 — DELIVERABLE
A complete instructor-led training package
Carolyn developed a comprehensive suite of ILT materials to support consistent instruction and measurable learning outcomes.
Multimedia-rich PowerPoint presentations
Structured slide decks featuring videos, imagery, and infographics to make complex counter-UAS concepts easier to understand.
Detailed presenter notes
Instructor guidance outlining key talking points, explanations, questions, and demonstrations for each training segment.
Knowledge assessments
Assessment materials designed to validate understanding and evaluate soldiers' knowledge of critical counter-UAS procedures.
04 — RESULTS
Training built for mission-critical readiness
The completed training packages received positive recognition from Army leadership for their clarity, professionalism, and instructional quality.
The materials supported field trainers in delivering consistent, high-quality instruction and helped soldiers prepare for certification in drone-disarming technologies.
The project's success also contributed to a Passionate Service Award recognizing Carolyn's excellence in instructional design and her impact on mission-critical training.
