3SDL's existing training clients have become increasingly interested in online training solutions and in 2009 3SDL's Training Services team engaged Saffron Interactive as an e-learning development partner. Saffron and 3SDL have since developed a number of modules together to teach technical military communications techniques.

Four modules were piloted at the annual International Data Links Symposium (IDLS), Vienna, Austria in December 2009. IDLS is attended by over 600 people from the tactical military communications community. They represent the interests of some 25 different countries including Australia, New Zealand, the USA, many European nations and South Africa. The pilot modules were very well received and several nations, including Sweden and the UK, are investigating a possible roll-out of Saffron/3SDL e-learning solutions.
