FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ETC
Simulation Awarded Contract for Homeland Security Training Center
at Concordia University - Portland
Southampton,
Pa., USA, June 10, 2014 - Environmental Tectonics
Corporation's (OTC Pink: ETCC)("ETC" or the "Company") Simulation
Division, located in Orlando, Fla., has announced today the signing
of a contract with Concordia University Portland to deliver a
complete, multi-level ADMS-Command training suite to its' new
Homeland Security Simulation Center in Portland, Oregon U.S.
The Advanced Disaster Management
Simulator ("ADMS") suite, which will be housed at Concordia's
Homeland Security Simulation Center at the new Columbia River
Campus, includes an On-Scene Incident Command Room with a
180-degree immersion theater screen, four field unit positions and
an Emergency Operations Center ("EOC") room, designated to
facilitate integrated and multi-level team training. The EOC
station, located in a separate room from the incident command and
field unit stations, includes a multi-monitor wall for displaying
2D mapping and logistics information, as well as the 3D on-scene
visuals such as a helicopter or CCTV view. In addition to the
installed ADMS-Command Suite, a portable ADMS-Command system has
already been delivered to Concordia for use during off-site
training exercises and events. The portable system can be connected
to the installed system upon completion.
The Simulation Center will be
available for rental to groups outside the university and beginning
this fall, ADMS will be integrated into the main curriculum for the
Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness Programs at Concordia
University. Students will be faced with any number of virtual
incidents, ranging from traffic accidents to a terrorist attack
involving chemical releases. The artificial intelligence and
physics-based effects embedded into all ADMS systems allow the
scenario to unfold as it would in the real world, requiring the
students to make real-time decisions as the incident
progresses.
"The goal of Concordia's Homeland
Security degree is simple: to provide our students the knowledge,
skills and leadership abilities they'll need in their homeland
security and emergency management careers and to prepare servant
leaders to change the world," said Scott Winegar, Concordia's
Director of Homeland Security. "By offering this hands-on learning
experience, we are bridging the gap between classroom theory and
real world experience."
ADMS(TM) is a high-fidelity
Virtual Reality Simulation Training Platform that comprises
multiple products including Incident Command training from
technical to strategic level (ADMS-Command), emergency response and
force protection specific to a military environment (ADMS-Airbase),
driver training and vehicle operation (ADMS-ARFF and ADMS-Drive)
and multiple level police coordination for crowd management and
riot control (ADMS-Control). ETC's signature True Simulation
Technology blends physics-based simulation, embedded artificial
intelligence, accurate animations, photo-realistic graphics,
ambient sounds, vehicle controls, and motion platforms to totally
immerse trainees in the exercise. ADMS enables first
responders and emergency managers to prepare at all levels of
response in a safe, economical and environmentally-conscious
way.
