ETC Simulation Contracted to Update ADMS Training Center for Korean National Fire Service Academy
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SOUTHAMPTON, Pa., USA, May 9, 2013 - Environmental Tectonics Corporation's (OTC
Pink: ETCC) ("ETC" or the "Company") Simulation Division, located in Orlando,
Fla., has been contracted by the Korean National Fire Service Academy ("KNFSA")
to extend their Maintenance Plan for their Advanced Disaster Management
Simulator ("ADMS"). The KNFSA's customized ADMS-Command was first delivered in
2007, and the extension of their annual maintenance plan will ensure continued
optimal performance of their simulator.
The KNFSA currently possesses a customized ADMS system featuring a nearly 200
square mile geo-typical South Korean city with response vehicles that reflect
those used by local emergency responders. The KNFSA system is used to provide
advanced training for all Korean Fire Service Officers. ADMS allows trainees to
gain true-to-life experience and build confidence in managing incidents that
cannot be trained for live, including low and high-rise structural firefighting,
industrial and hazardous materials fires, traffic accidents, urban search and
rescue and mountain wildfires.
"We are pleased that the KNFSA continues to put their trust in both their ADMS
system and in ETC Simulation." said Marco van Wijngaarden, President of ETC
Simulation. "Since 2007, they have been able to offer their students a higher
level of training through the use of ADMS, and the extension of their contract
demonstrates their commitment to provide the best training experience possible."
All ADMS training systems feature embedded artificial intelligence and physics-
based effects, combined with high-fidelity visuals to create a powerfully
immersive environment. This level of realism has made ETC the leading developer
of simulation training systems for over 40 years.
