ETC Simulation Awarded Contract by Netherlands Institute For Safety to Deliver Six Additional ADMS(TM) Systems
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Southampton, PA, USA, June 11, 2012 - Environmental Tectonics Corporation's
("ETC" or the "Company") Simulation Division, located in Orlando, FL, has
contracted with the Netherlands Institute for Safety ("NIFV") for the delivery
of six additional Advanced Disaster Management Simulator (ADMS(TM)) training
systems. The virtual reality training systems will be used at two Netherlands
regional fire training organizations, a Regional Fire Safety Centre and a
Regional Fire Training Centre, for single- and multi-agency emergency services
training.
The ADMS systems feature ETC's Signature Simulation Technology and the new
SmartModel(TM) library which enhances exercise development and creativity by
allowing unlimited scenario capabilities. The chosen simulation systems are
portable and allow both in-residence training and deployment to off-site
locations. Incident locations within the virtual city include residential,
warehouse, highways, airport and seaport, and an underground parking garage,
tunnel and metro station.
Eric Didderen, Senior Trainer-Adviser at NIFV said, "The new systems will
further enhance our ability to provide training system and didactical support,
in this case to two of Netherlands' largest regional fire training
organizations. As with our other systems, these new systems feature 'true
simulation' through embedded physics, artificial intelligence, and great
scenario flexibility that allow trainees to fully immerse themselves in the
exercise, with real-time results to their actions. We are very pleased that we
are able to offer this level of training support to our clients. Our NIFV-ADMS
User Group is expanding rapidly and drives the further development of our
services."
NIFV is a national center of expertise with four Academies: Fire Academy,
Academy for Crisis Management, Emergency Medical Service Academy and Academy for
Leadership. Since 2001, NIFV has trained thousands of emergency responders and
crisis management teams using ADMS technology. With this order, NIFV further
increases its training capabilities with more than 30 simulation systems, which
are used as individual training stations or networked to provide team
training.
"NIFV is a highly respected organization and this contract is once again
testament to the value that NIFV places on the quality of ADMS and our support,"
said Marco van Wijngaarden, President of ETC Simulation. "We are very pleased
with the continued relationship with NIFV and its network of clients in the
Netherlands."
