ETC Simulation Awarded Contract by Rosenbauer International AG to Deliver Two Additional ADMS-HRET Stinger Simulators
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Southampton, PA, USA, March 22, 2012 - Environmental Tectonics Corporation's
("ETC" or the "Company") Simulation Division, located in Orlando, FL, has
contracted with Rosenbauer International AG ("Rosenbauer") for the delivery
of two additional ADMS-HRET simulation training systems. The virtual
reality systems will be delivered to Rosenbauer customers to train operating
skills for the Panther Airport Rescue Fire Fighting ("ARFF") vehicles with
Stinger High Reach Extendable Turrets ("HRET").
The Stinger HRET is used to fight fires inside and outside aircraft. The
HRET includes a penetrator nozzle mounted on a joystick-controlled hydraulic
boom arm. The penetrator nozzle is used to create a hole in an aircraft
fuselage to apply agent directly to interior fires.
ETC Simulation is the sole distributor of the Stinger HRET simulation which
helps vehicle operators to develop the skills necessary for hands-on
operation of the HRET. The training systems are built upon the proven
platform of the Advanced Disaster Management Simulator (ADMS(TM)) and
consist of a turret console with a real Rosenbauer HRET joystick to train
students on fuselage penetration and fire fighting. Optional steering wheel
and pedals allow the trainee to drive the vehicle to the scene and practice
tactical positioning. The system includes a scenario generator and an
after-action review tool, which can replay an exercise from any viewable
angle for optimal debriefing. Computer-based HRET training simulators are
recognized as a training aid by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), and can be funded under the Airport Improvement Program (AIP).
