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.
