Advanced disaster management simulator
Article Type: Safety topics and news From: Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology: An International Journal, Volume 81, Issue 3
Environmental Tectonics Corporation (AMEX:ETC) (“ETC” or the “Company”) Simulation Division, developers of the advanced disaster management simulator (ADMS), is offering demonstrations of how simulation can prepare responders in dealing with aviation incidents like the US Airways Flight 1549 which crashed into the Hudson River earlier this year.
The ADMS is a training platform that presents non-scripted, immersive, real-world emergency situations for training in incident command. ADMS provides responders the ideal opportunity to develop skills in command, control, co-ordination and communication for both expected and unusual incidents, as was the case in yesterday’s crash.
ADMS combines realistic 3D visuals and sound with real-world physics and time frames, presenting authentic learning situations to promote comprehensive preparedness and confidence, affordably, safely, and with no environmental impact.
ADMS systems are used for training and assessment of individuals and teams, planning, and research. ADMS provides multi-level, multi-disciplinary training to all emergency workers from incident commanders and on-scene responders to emergency operations center personnel.
ADMS users include New York City Office of Emergency Management, Minneapolis – St Paul International Airport, Nashville International Airport, Brunswick County, NC Office of Emergency Management, and the UK’s International Fire Training Centre.
