As weapons, systems, vehicles, and operations continue to increase in complexity, digitizing knowledge and integrating domains of expertise and data is critical for an effective, adaptive, and resilient force. Manifest, powered by Microsoft, can enable this transformation.
2021 - 2023
Rapid and Scalable Digital Augmentation Software (RASDAS) builds on its successful Phase I program to create an integrated digital augmentation solution that can scale within Army maintenance operations by digitizing fault mitigation workflows, reducing dependence for a fiducial marker for tracking of vehicle in 3D space, creating a bridge to enable integration with GCSS Army, and implement permissions-based viewing of work instructions.
2021 - PRESENT
Manifest selected by Booz Allen Hamilton (prime) as part of the multivendor JBLM 5G AR Application Prototype to evaluate maintainer training capabilities over a 5G cellular network deployed within a simulated brigade-level operating theater.
2020 - 2021
Proof-of-concept using augmented reality work instructions over real maritime equipment as well as 3D digital twins. Deployed a production ready Manifest infrastructure environment on Microsoft Azure Government Cloud instance in Australia. Resulted in Manifest being the only approved AR work-instruction for Australian Defense at this time. Currently transitioning to production deployment for the Royal Navy.
2020 - 2021
3D Media (prime) selected Taqtile Manifest software to support their
SBIR Phase II project for the USAF Rapid Sustainability Office (RSO).
Efforts included creating and evaluating AR work instructions for the 7th Bomb Wing on a B1-B Lancer aircraft at Dyess AFB. Phase II extension awarded and includes obtaining ATO for Manifest within USAF flight line maintenance ops.
2020 - 2021
Conducted a Phase I SBIR using Manifest and HoloLens to demonstrate use of augmented work instructions and fault flagging/resolution for motor pool operations and maintenance at Fort Hood.
2019
Manifest selected by LCE to deliver proof-of-concept mixed-reality
augmented work instructions and training for Sea Coaches overseeing
US Navy submarine and tender maintenance in Guam.
2019 - PRESENT
Army Trade Training School performed an assessment of Manifest resulting in a >50% reduction in errors when using AR work instructions vs paper-based, instructor-led training. Manifest was evaluated by new armored vehicle maintainers in the classroom, on training benches, and in the garage on Rheinmetall Defense HX60 troop carriers. The solution was subsequently deployed by NZDF and is still in use.
2018 - 2019
1-year Manifest pilot to evaluate and experiment with AR based training
and operations for jet engine and facilities maintenance.
2017 - 2019
Manifest selected by Booz Allen Hamilton (prime) and evaluated as a
solution to improve resiliency of maintenance and training at remote
locations. DFARS assessment and ‘approval to proceed’ achieved for
AWS instance of Taqtile Manifest.
2017 - 2019
Test and evaluation of Manifest for field-based USAF propulsion
mechanics. Final study report demonstrated a 92% reduction in errors utilizing Manifest compared to the extant method of following T.O.’s for L1-L5 propulsion mechanics performing maintenance tasks.
The platform connects the warfighter with the four domains of operations, the critical elements of operational systems to do more with less… and do it better:
Expeditionary teams are connected locally, but also to remote stations for real time communications, collaboration and decision making.
Warfighters are able to access procedures, documentation and checklists to reduce cognitive stress.

Taqtile’s Manifest platform is a state-of-the-art upgrade to the way soldiers perform preventative maintenance on their vehicles that will save time and money while improving readiness.
Keep gear and personnel safe by better informing operators.
Locate and collaborate with the right expert the first time while sharing visibility of the job or issue at hand.
Next-gen documentation that displays entire technical manuals and documents and bookmarks specific page references pertinent to the in-process task.
Respond faster than ever before with real-time access to all the necessary data to make life-saving, split-second decisions.
Enterprise-grade access control, encryption, and location-level data capture control at the application level.
True flexibility with customizable training delivered in the cloud, on-premise, hybrid, or offline.
This is how today’s Airmen are learning. This is a prime example of how innovation will help our Airmen meet their true potential.”
Taqtile is passionate about empowering sailors to be self-sufficient maintainers of their equipment with the capability to perform at-sea repairs and to support all operations.
Personnel trained on Manifest generated significantly fewer errors when completing technical tasks (36% – 100% decrease in errors) (link to whitepaper at bottom of page)
Technicians using traditional methods had a 60% error rate with the tasks successfully completed.
Technicians using the Manifest platform completed 100% of the 28 tasks with 0 errors.
All sailors participating in the project believed that Manifest is well suited for 30% of maintenance tasks where procedures are complex, long, error-prone, infrequent, or require remote assistance.
