Environmental Tectonics Corporation Announces Demonstration of ADMS Exercises at National War College, Washington, DC

SOUTHAMPTON, Pa., March 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Environmental Tectonics Corporation ("ETC" or the "Company") today announced that on March 15, 2006, the National War College in Washington, DC will utilize the Advanced Disaster Management Simulator (ADMS(TM)) to conduct training demonstration exercises. These exercises will be major incidents at both an airport and a seaport.

Large-scale adverse events - natural disasters (weather & earthquake), industrial mishaps or terrorist actions - will very likely disrupt normal operations for more than one stakeholder in both airports and seaports. While certain threats are common, specific threats demand very specialized response skills.

The prime goal in both airports and seaports is continuity of operations to minimize the impact and restore normalcy. Threat recognition and prompt expert response are the keys. What needs to be done, when, and by whom? What does each enterprise that may experience an adverse event need to do to be adequately prepared to sustain critical operations and restore normalcy? What actions do neighboring enterprises need to be prepared to coordinate to minimize the adverse impact of threats? Verifying the collective readiness of the many different agencies, businesses and individual stakeholders in both the airport and seaport to respond to common threats is an exceptional challenge. The use of the ADMS shows the value of "off-the-shelf" simulation technology to prepare stakeholders to manage a dynamic disaster response in a complex operating environment.

ADMS simulates emergency incidents such as terrorist acts, Weapons of Mass Destruction, hazardous material spills, multi-vehicle road accidents, fires and natural disasters and simultaneously trains entire response teams in the four C's of disaster management: Command, Control, Coordination and Communication. ADMS authentically simulates the dynamic elements of the environment (people, vehicles, threats) that are significant in a disaster situation - and the outcomes of actions taken provide authentic feedback, resulting in real skill building.

For over a decade, ADMS has been in use at US Airports and major firefighting and emergency response training facilities worldwide, and is an industry-proven and mature solution for optimal emergency preparedness. ETC also designs, develops, installs and maintains aircrew training systems, public entertainment systems, process simulation systems (sterilization and environmental), clinical hyperbaric systems, environmental testing and simulation systems, and related products for domestic and international customers.
