Southampton, PA, USA, March 22, 2012 - Environmental Tectonics Corporation's ("ETC" or the "Company") Simulation Division, located in Orlando, FL, has contracted with Rosenbauer International AG ("Rosenbauer") for the delivery of two additional ADMS-HRET simulation
training systems. The virtual reality systems will be delivered to
Rosenbauer customers to train operating skills for the Panther Airport Rescue Fire Fighting ("ARFF") vehicles with Stinger High Reach Extendable Turrets ("HRET").
The Stinger HRET is used to fight fires inside and outside aircraft. The HRET includes a penetrator nozzle mounted on a joystick-controlled hydraulic boom arm. The penetrator nozzle is used to create a hole in an aircraft fuselage to apply agent directly to interior fires.
ETC Simulation is the sole distributor of the Stinger HRET simulation which helps vehicle operators to develop the skills necessary for hands-on operation of the HRET.
The training systems are built upon the proven platform of the Advanced Disaster Management Simulator (ADMS(TM))
and consist of a turret console with a real Rosenbauer HRET joystick
to train students on fuselage penetration and fire fighting. Optional steering wheel and pedals allow the trainee to drive the vehicle to the scene and practice tactical positioning.
The system includes a scenario generator and
an after-action review tool, which can replay an exercise from any viewable angle for optimal debriefing.
Computer-based HRET training simulators are recognized as a training aid by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and can be funded under the Airport Improvement Program (AIP).
