ETC Simulation Announces A Major ADMS Upgrade for Serco Int'l Fire Training Centre
Premier UK Training Center Enhances Their Advanced Disaster Management Simulator
Orlando, FL
September 19, 2007
Environmental Tectonics Corporation's (AMEX:ETC) ("ETC" or the "Company") Simulation Division, developers of ADMS, the Advanced Disaster Management Simulator, announced today that the United Kingdom's Serco International Fire Training Centre (IFTC) has contracted for a major upgrade to their current ADMS system.
IFTC has used the ADMS simulation training platform since 2002 in exercising Airport Fire Officers from around the world in emergency command, control, communication and cooperation.
Greatly expanding their training capability, this new contract marks the upgrade of the IFTC system to the latest ADMS software platform, Core3, which supports a completely 3D immersive environment, physics-based smoke, fire and fluid as well as an upgraded Artificial Intelligence engine which will drive more realistic interactions between trainees and virtual entities and between trainees and the dynamically evolving scenario. IFTC's new system will also include a new typical UK airport environment, new aircraft and responder vehicles and the ADMS Scenario Generator software, which will allow for great flexibility in designing and varying exercises. Consistent with IFTC's existing ADMS training system, the new system will be CAP 699 and ICAO Annex 14 compliant. The new system also marks the transition from training only fire officers to involving all responders, including rescue, law enforcement and emergency medical services.
