Applied Technology: Environmental Tectonics Wins Texas Contract

May 5, 2010 (FinancialWire) — Environmental Tectonics Corp. (OTCBB: ETCC) said it has received a contract from the El Paso International Airport to deliver ADMS, the Advanced Disaster Management Simulator.

ADMS is a virtual reality simulation training stage. The system enables first responders and emergency managers to train and rehearse at all levels of response. 

El Paso is the sixth largest city in the state of Texas and its fire department answers an estimated 63,000 calls for service per year, including calls for airport fire protection and aircraft firefighting and rescue.

In support of the training of the fire department's services, the El Paso International Airport purchased ADMS. According to Environmental Tectonics, the systems will enable the fire department as well as surrounding agencies such as the police departments and emergency medical staff to train on a virtual basis on a variety of incidents.

These incidents include multiple downed aircraft, a multi-story structural fire, and a warehouse fire and hostage incident.

Their ADMS system also includes ADMS Aircraft Rescue Firefighting, in which the firefighters can gain experience in using ARFF vehicle turret controls, the application of fire fighting agent, vehicle operation, basic driving and positioning.

Pennsylvania-based ETC’s core technologies include the design, manufacture and sale of training services, which includes software driven products and services used to create and monitor the physiological effects of flight.

The company also provides high performance jet tactical flight simulation, and driving and disaster simulation systems, as well as various control systems.
