ADMS-Airbase Unveiled by ETC Simulation at I/ITSEC

SOUTHAMPTON, Pa., Dec. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Environmental Tectonics Corporation's ("ETC" or the "Company") Simulation Division recently unveiled ADMS-Airbase at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) in Orlando, FL this past week.   ADMS-Airbase, the newest product in the ADMS suite of simulation training systems, was developed to specifically address the unique challenges of military-aided emergency and disaster response professionals. 

"ADMS–Airbase is built upon the same proven platform as our industry-leading Advanced Disaster Management Simulator (ADMS™); it offers the combination of high definition ADMS visuals and True-Simulation technology within the environment of a non-specific military airbase," said Marco van Wijngaarden, President of ETC Simulation.  "This training system is relevant to emergency management teams around the world, and is an excellent example of a product that will allow military responders and incident commanders to train safely and economically."

ADMS-Airbase offers interactive, multi-level training for on-scene command, field unit response and off-scene strategic operations.  Within the Airbase environment are incidents involving military-specific aircraft and helicopters.  Also included is the ability to select and integrate event changing variables such as air crew, passengers and casualties, on-board weapons systems, and weather conditions, thus offering limitless scenario generating capabilities. 

ETC Simulation successfully launched the ADMS-Airbase product at their booth as well as conducted personalized tours of their Orlando Innovation Center with opportunities to view the new ADMS-Airbase in their 180 degree Immersion Theatre. 

I/ITSEC  was held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL from November 29-December 1, 2011.  For more details about I/ITSEC, visit their website at www.iitsec.org
