ETC Simulation Contracted by United States Air Force Civil Engineering Center to Deliver Airfield Damage Repair Simulation Training System
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
For Immediate Release
Southampton, Pa., USA, December 2, 2014 - Environmental Tectonics Corporation's
(OTC Pink: ETCC) ("ETC" or the "Company") Simulation Division, located in
Orlando, Fla., has been awarded a contract by the United States Air Force Civil
Engineering Center ("AFCEC") located at Tyndall Air Force Base to deliver an
Airfield Damage Repair ("ADR") Simulator. The virtual reality simulator will be
used to train Air Force Civil Engineering staff to effectively command and
Control ADR operations, assuring that mission critical airfield infrastructure,
including runways and taxiways, are restored rapidly under any conditions.
The ADR training system will be based on the proven Advanced Disaster Management
Simulator ("ADMS(TM)") system currently used at the United States Department of
Defense ("DoD") Fire Academy located at Goodfellow Air Force Base. The ADMS-
Airbase system, which includes the fictitious Norma Brown Airbase tabletop
model, will be modified to meet the new ADR requirements, including the addition
of multiple ADR teams, vehicles, and warehouses stocked with the supplies
necessary for various types of repairs.
New objects will be added to the SmartModel(TM) Library, including craters of
various sizes and types, and explosive ordnance devices that can be inserted
into the exercise to further challenge trainees. In addition, the implementation
of a faster-than-real-time exercise clock will allow the training exercise to be
compressed into a shorter period while still tracking the real-world time of
each action and decision that the trainees make.
"We are very pleased with this opportunity to support AFCEC in their efforts to
modernize and enhance the current ADR training program. This requirement will
amplify the core capabilities of our ADMS system and extend the benefits of
training with ADMS-Airbase to additional areas within the DoD. We appreciate the
continued trust that the USAF has placed in our Company, and we are committed to
delivering a training solution that will assist AFCEC in being mission ready at
all times." said Lori Bozenbury, Director of Business Development at ETC
Simulation.
