ETCC lands a nice contract

"This will mark the first time the U.S. Department of Defense has trained with ADMS.'


PRW: Environmental Tectonics Corporation's Simulation Division Awarded Contract
to Provide Advanced Disaster Management Simulator Training Services for the Tenn
essee Air National Guard



SOUTHAMPTON, Pa., Aug. 13/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --Environmental Tectonics
Corporation's (OTC Bulletin Board: ETCC) ("ETC" or the "Company") Simulation
Division today announced the signing of a contract with the Tennessee Air
National Guard to provide training services utilizing the ADMS (Advanced
Disaster Management Simulator).

The Tennessee Air National Guard, charged with preparing staff for response
to incidents and disasters, selected ADMS to create realistic training
conditions.

Over the course of a 3-day period, the Air National Guard will train their
members in command, control, coordination and communication in a variety of
simulated incidents and disasters including aircraft crash, hazardous
material incident, and infectious disease. Local responders will also
participate in the incident management training program.

ADMS simulation based training's benefits include the capability to attain a
significant level of proficiency in a relatively short time. ADMS is easy to
organize and it is a green solution. Without the wear and tear on
resources, training can be done at a fraction of the cost of live training.

The ADMS COMMAND training system will allow the Air National Guard to train
on scenarios that are similar to incidents they might face in reality. ADMS
allows the Guard to train for situations that cannot be realistically or
economically replicated in conventional training under the safety veil of a
simulated environment. ADMS simulation provides an immersive environment
with "any time any where" flexibility. Training can be effected as many
times as they deem necessary to reach their specific training goals. And
ADMS training bridges the gap between classroom instruction and live
exercises.

ETC's Simulation Division President, Marco van Wijngaarden, remarked, "This
will mark the first time the U.S. Department of Defense has trained with
ADMS. We are proud to work with the DoD and contribute to the nation's
security through our robust and proven training solution."

ADMS is a true to life virtual reality team training simulation platform
used for training incident command and vehicle operation. ADMS is unique
due to its high-end simulation of incidents, people and resources, generated
by physics based simulation and embedded artificial intelligence and
surrounded with photorealistic visualizations and ambient sounds. It offers
a proven methodology to provide results-based and cost-effective training.
Since 1995, ADMS has been used to train emergency responders around the
world, as well as used to test emergency response plans. ADMS trains first
responders worldwide.
