ETC Simulation Contracted by Netherlands Ministry of Defense to Deliver ADMS Training System for Royal Netherlands Air Force
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Southampton, PA, USA, November 19, 2012 - Environmental Tectonics Corporation's
("ETC" or the "Company") Simulation Division, located in Orlando, FL, has been
awarded a contract from the Netherlands Defense Materiel Organization to deliver
an Advanced Disaster Management Simulator (ADMS(TM)). The simulator will be used
to educate, assess, and train fire and rescue services personnel.
The portable ADMS-Airbase virtual reality training system will be delivered to
the Fire Academy of the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) at Woensdrecht Air
Force Base, and from there deployed by mobile training teams to provide on-site
training to all other bases and facilities in the Netherlands. The training
system will be adapted to meet specific requirements including RNLAF vehicles
with crews, a variety of aircraft incidents such as F-16, Pilatus PC-7, KDC-10
Tanker, Hercules C-130, Apache AH-64D, Chinook CH-47F; and road traffic
accidents, hazmat situations, wildland and structural fires.
ADMS-Airbase consists of a military airbase with hangers, aircraft shelters,
support facilities, ammunition storage, residential areas, and runways. The
ADMS-Airbase system features ETC's Signature Simulation Technology including the
SmartModel(TM) library, which enhances exercise development and creativity by
allowing unlimited scenario capabilities. SmartModel library objects such as
aircraft and crashed vehicles can be added to any scenario to create additional
challenges for the trainees.
"We are very happy with the selection of ADMS because this is the kind of
simulation quality we were looking for." said Major Rob Venmans, Chief of the
RNLAF Fire Academy. "Our live fire training facility is one of the most complete
in the world; nevertheless, we needed to expand our training capabilities to
assure we can deliver mission-ready fire personnel at all times. With ADMS we
can prepare our personnel properly in a high-fidelity virtual reality
environment for live fire training and for all critical situations that cannot
be trained live at all. Now we will be able to provide On Scene Commander
courses without calling in trucks with crews and all types of aircraft, which
saves us resources, time and money."
