ETC Simulation to Deliver Firefighter Training Simulator to Netherlands Institute for Safety

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ETC Simulation to Deliver Firefighter Training Simulator to Netherlands
Institute for Safety
Southampton, Pa., USA, August 20, 2013 - Environmental Tectonics Corporation's
(OTC Pink: ETCC)("ETC" or the "Company") Simulation Division, located in
Orlando, Fla., has been contracted by the Netherlands Institute for Safety
("IFV") to develop an augmented reality firefighter training simulator with the
objective of creating an effective and safe training environment for situations
that cannot be trained live. The research department at IFV will perform field
experiments to quantify the effectiveness of the training device in relation to
the current live fire training methods, together with the Fire Brigades of
Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
ADMS-Fire will be the first simulator from the ADMS platform with integrated
motion-based sensor technology, offering a new level of immersion and realism.
Among its features are a real fire hose with branch allowing the option of
opening and closing of the hose, flow rate selection, and the ability to choose
between jet stream and spray. As part of the project, ETC developed a
residential house and barn in a countryside environment in which wayfinding,
firefighting and ventilation tactics can be practiced at fire fighter and
vehicle commander level to avoid instances of backdraft and flashover. The fire
simulation software responds to the actions that the trainees take, and includes
a scenario generator and after action reviewer.
"At IFV we are always looking for innovative solutions that contribute to
critical training of emergency responders. This is a great project as subject
matter experts, firefighters, researchers, educational experts and industry have
come together to create a next generation training instrument for people who put
their lives at risk in extreme conditions." said Rijk van den Dikkenberg, Chief
Fire Officer and Project Manager at IFV.
