ETC Simulation Contracted by Essex County College Police Academy to Deliver ADMS-Command(TM) System
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Southampton, PA, USA, April 2, 2012 - Environmental Tectonics Corporation's
("ETC" or the "Company") Simulation Division, located in Orlando, FL, has
contracted with Essex County College for the delivery of the Advanced Disaster
Management Simulator ("ADMS") and three years of Total Support, which covers
software, hardware and scenario updates. The virtual reality training system
will be used at the Essex County College Police Academy ("ECCPA") to augment
training in basic and continuing education courses, including Incident Command,
fire scenes, traffic investigations, and other natural and man-made disaster
conditions.
The ADMS(TM) system features ETC's Signature Simulation Technology and the new
SmartModel(TM) library which enhances exercise development and creativity by
allowing unlimited scenario capabilities within the incident locations. The
chosen system is portable and will allow both in-residence training and use at
off-site locations. The ADMS-Command US system is produced standard with 10
incident locations including a multi-purpose building with fire and car bomb, a
warehouse fire and hostage, road traffic accident, hazmat tanker truck accident,
fuel farm fire, port hazmat and fire, airport emergencies, and shopping mall IED
and hostage.
Rocco Miscia, ECCPA Director, said, "The Essex County College Police Academy is
proud to be the first agency in New Jersey to purchase the Advanced Disaster
Management Simulator. We are eager to begin using this valuable training tool
for preparing Essex County's first responders for the various scenarios they may
face. We recognize the value of enhancing our readiness with the realistic
exercises and situations that ADMS presents. Overall, ADMS will allow us to
better prepare our police, fire, OEM, and EMS personnel for response and
mitigation of potential adversities in a cost-effective environment, before they
occur."
ADMS(TM) is a high-fidelity Virtual Reality Simulation Training Stage that
houses multiple products including Incident Command training from technical to
strategic level (ADMS-Command), driver training and vehicle operation (ADMS-ARFF
and ADMS-Drive), and multiple level police coordination for crowd management and
riot control (ADMS-Control). ETC's signature technology blends physics-based
simulation, embedded artificial intelligence, accurate animations, photo-
realistic graphics, ambient sounds, vehicle controls, and motion platforms to
totally immerse trainees in the exercise. ADMS enables first responders and
emergency managers to prepare at all levels of response in a safe, economical
and environmentally-conscious way.
"The high-tech equipment we utilize at the Academy, such as the simulator,
enhances the excellent emergency management training we offer and indirectly
benefits all the residents of Essex County," said Charles Lovallo, Executive
Dean for Continuing Education and West Essex Campus. "We are fortunate to
partner with the County of Essex so that we can continue to play a major role in
the training of public safety personnel and emergency responders in and around
Essex County."
Marco van Wijngaarden, President of ETC Simulation, stated, "ADMS is considered
the gold-standard in simulation training systems by emergency management
training institutions worldwide. This contract with the Essex County College
Police Academy illustrates that ADMS is a true multi-agency training solution.
They are an exceptional training academy and integrating ADMS into their
curriculum will no doubt benefit not only their program and trainees, but also
most importantly, their community."
