ETC Simulation Awarded Contract by Rosenbauer International AG to Deliver Panther ARFF Vehicle Simulator
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Southampton, PA, USA, June 18, 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 a
vehicle simulator for the renowned Panther Airport Rescue Fire Fighting ("ARFF")
vehicle. The full cabin simulator will be installed at the Rosenbauer
Headquarters in Austria.
The simulator will be used to train vehicle firefighting operating skills, and
also tactical positioning of the vehicle in case of aircraft emergencies. The
vehicle cabin will have the same layout as the real Panther, including a
functional dashboard and center console with controls for the bumper turret and
Stinger High Reach Extendable Turret ("HRET"), or RM60 Roof Turret. This allows
vehicle crew to practice skills and build confidence to safely and effectively
use the vehicle in any condition. With the included Scenario Generator, training
staff can create new training situations, from novice to expert level, for a
variety of aircraft types.
Lori Bozenbury, Director of Business Development of ETC Simulation, stated, "We
are proud to once again deliver an effective training solution, using our proven
ADMS True Simulation technology, to Rosenbauer. The simulator will provide
essential and safe training for airport fire and rescue vehicle operators, while
saving money and resources normally spent in live training. It is a green
airport solution, as no pollution by agents and live burns is involved. With
ADMS, even the finest details of the vehicle capabilities and training scenarios
are incorporated. For example, the turret and HRET control dynamics and fire
fighting capabilities are accurate, including the foam extinguishment of large
fuel spill fires. This level of fidelity is critical to the direct transfer of
simulation-acquired experience to real-world conditions."
