trainees to start trying to locate the source

immediately as if in a real life situation.

Benefits of Electronic Simulators

The quality of this training exercise was

enhanced by electronic simulators, which

support emergency services with

preparations for situations similar to real

life. For training organisers the alternatives

to electronic simulators are live simulants,

such as deep heat, but exercises can

become unrealistic as training personnel

have to be so close to these to get a

detector reading. With Argon equipment

the police were able to simulate a faraway

plume, which is similar to how it would be

in a real incident. Another alternative is to

simulate particular forms of contamination

with special liquids, however simulated

substances don’t lend themselves to

repeated training, as they cause lasting

contamination. A key advantage of

electronic detector simulators is that they

look, feel and function exactly like the real

detectors but respond to safe electronic

sources. With electronic simulation

equipment the trainees can realistically

carry out their roles without risk of harm

or damage to themselves, other

participants, their equipment or the

environment.

Trainees learn more effectively from

practical training, which is why electronic

simulators are so important in successful

CBRN training as they offer the

opportunity to put learned knowledge

into practice.

Argon Electronics’ range of CBRN responsetraining simulators has brought a degree ofrealism that has significantly enhancedtraining at an exercise staged for police inthe South West of the United Kingdom.The Argon equipment was supplied by thePolice National CBRN Centre at Ryton-on-Dunsmore in Warwickshire, whichoversees the Police’s capacity andcapability to deal with CBRN incidents, andwas a highly valuable tool in the exerciseas a means of improving the quality andvalue of training.

CBRN Response Training SimulatorsSetting the sceneThe Avon and Somerset police used thesimulators for a training exercise held atthe Bristol City football ground. Thepremise of the exercise was that the policewere present to provide security andsafety at a half marathon charity event insupport of military charities, starting andfinishing at Bristol City Football Club. Theinventory comprised a variety of CBRNtraining simulators, including Argon’sPlumeSIM™ system, which enables a singleinstructor to configure simulated chemicaland radiological releases across a widearea, and then to monitor and managemultiple trainees in real time from a centrallocation.

For the purpose of the exercise, advanceintelligence had suggested that somechemical weapons had been smuggled outfrom Syria for possible terrorist use in theUK. Police were also informed of a knownactive Syrian community in Bristol with

both pro and anti-government factionsrepresented and told that tensions in thearea had been apparent for some weeks.

Carrying out the exerciseOn the day itself, organisers arrived earlyto plan the full day in detail, which playeda key role in the success of the training.Had the trainees arrived and been forcedto wait while organisers spent the first twohours planning they would have lost focus.The emergency services may face manyoccasions in real life where planning isn’tpossible, but there are often manyincidents where advance intelligence tellsthe Police to expect an incident. Thepremise of the pre-planned exercisecarried out at Bristol City Football Groundwas that the Police force had receivedadvance intelligence that something waspossibly going to happen and on thisoccasion the organiser’s pre-planningsupported the event and the premise.

Realism was introduced at everyopportunity. The release of agents tookplace while the commanders were stilldelivering their briefings, at which pointtwo smoke machines went off and ahundred people started screaming. Thetraining was not only physical, wheretrainees gain familiarity with theequipment, but also emotional. Thepurpose of this was to enable trainees tocope effectively with a frightening sceneto be prepared for a real life situation. Tothe trainees listening to the briefing whomay have been relaxed and waiting for thetraining to begin shortly, the sudden soundof a hundred people screaming and thesight of smoke billowing out of thestadium immediately put them into analert and focused frame of mind. Thisensured that everyone – the policeincluded – reacted to the circumstancesas if it was a real life emergency. Thisrealism was supported by the use of theArgon equipment, which enabled the

DEVELOPING REALISTICTRAINING TOOLS FOR THEMILITARY & EMERGENCYMEDICAL DOMAINS.Innovative Tactical Training Solutions (ITTS) wasfounded in 2008 with a mission to develop andproduce realistic training tools that wouldprovide the realism demanded by the militaryand emergency medical domains. ITTSspecializes in the design and development ofeffective, live constructive simulation tools thatwork together as a system, and allow the enduser to focus on their Tactics, Techniques, andProcedures.

In addition to realism, ITTS knows that truetraining tools are a complement to trainingexercises, not pieces that demand time andattention. Training sessions are effective, bothin cost and in educational value, when they canbe repeated with minimal interruption – theymust serve the greatest number for the greatestamount of time. Training sessions are effectivewhen they are seamless, and can be repeatedon demand. The ITTS product design reflects

not only an understanding of reality basedtraining, but also reality based training tools.

ITTS is committed to simulated productdevelopment that revolves around durabilityand simplicity, and enhances the trainingopportunity. The primary consideration is tocreate products with such attention to detailthat they add unparalleled realism in creatingthe combat training environment. ITTS focuseson creating simulations that provide actualstress in a training environment while leveragingtechnology to integrate our various simulationtools to create a comprehensive trainingexperience. The benefactors of ITTS productsare both the giver and receiver of intense,constructive simulation training.

Combat CasualtySimulation

Among the ITTS product suite, the two mostrepresentative of this mission has been theTOMManikin® and an array of reusable helocabin simulator structures built for providingrealism to combat medical training withoutheavy demand on personnel (the HH-60CASEVAC, CV22 CASEVAC, and Little Bird).

Created in collaboration with TechlineTechnologies, Inc., the TOMManikin (MedicalManikin) provides the ability to enhance TacticalCombat Casualty Care (TCCC) from Point of

Injury to transfer of higher care. This all-in-onesystem allows you to build multiple PRScenarios and create realistic Full Mission Profile(FMP) with reactive patients.

Customizable from interchangeable limbs topatient voice tracks, TOMManikin simulatespatient reactions and medical interventions –airway adjuncts, needle decompression, woundpacking, tourniquet placement, and vascularaccess. TOMManikin is a trauma manikinsimulator designed for both classroom settingsand Trauma Lanes and field training scenarios.Multiple appendages present a variety ofwounds including gunshot, blast and burns toprovide full mission profiles in combatscenarios. Durability and realism makeTOMManikin a cost effective, educationaltrauma training tool capable of surviving therigors of TCCC, APT and Tactical Medicine.

The new TOMManikin® Gen4 contains newfeatures, including improved intubatable airway,IV arm, sternal and humeral IO, a choice of lightor dark skin tone.

The TOMManikin® family of products nowincludes a stand-alone, realistic training devicethat can be used with or without blood flow -the Hemorrhage Control Part Task Trainer. TheTrainer is compact and easy to transport, yetrugged enough for classroom or field use.Simulation exercises can be run repeated, eachtime reinforcing the control of potentially lethal

injuries to groin and leg with wound packing andproper tourniquet placement.

Tactical Training andSimulation

The HH-60 CASEVAC, CV22 CASEVAC, andLittle Bird provide the capability to trainappropriate personnel on the proper methodsof administering medical aid to occupants fromthe interior of a structure. They are portable andquickly reusable helo cabin structure designedand built for providing multi-purpose exercisesthat recreate real-life extrication and medicaltraining in crash scenarios. It provides thecapability to train appropriate personnel on theproper methods of administering medical aid tooccupants from the interior of a structurewithin the parameters of a training exercise.

These extrication helo trainers, when used inconjunction with the ITTS TOMManikin andSensory Control Unit (SCU), gives totalintegration between the simulation cabin andenvironmental factors that can be applied toany training scenario. The front compartmentcan be used as a trap for the TOMManikin (bothpilot and co-pilot seating). The Little Bird hasextractable doors, providing a realistic obstacleto emergency extractions. Remotely controlledvia laptop or Android device, the trainingcoordinator can introduce and vary the intensityof noise and smoke (fogger). The control ofthese factors, plus the realism of the trainingstructure, greatly enhances the realism at pointof injury.

The Sensory Control Unit (SCU) is a PC, tablet,or Android controlled unit with a customdesigned interface that allows for anincrease/decrease in the level of stress on thetrainee via the control of environmental factors,such as light, noise, wind (fans), water, smoke(foggers), and other specialized components.The control of these factors and the built-in“intelligence” of the unit greatly enhance therealism of care-under-fire procedures. The unit

is easily transportable, reusable, and designed

to be easily applied to stationary units (e.g. cargo

container and kill houses).

This mobile unit is entirely self-contained,

configuring as a “rack system” to most training

environments. It contains the hardware,

software, and electrical components required

to equip multi-sized simulation environments

for a training procedure. A provided camera

allows you to monitor the exercise externally

on a window in the user interface.

Machine Gun andBlast Simulator

For seamlessly and effectively adding small

arms fire to your Full Mission Profile, TCCC, and

care under fire training scenarios, the ITTS

Machine Gun Simulator and ITTS Blast

Simulator fully integrate into the same operating

system as the TOMManikin. The result is the

introduction of a realistic threat into your

medical training scenarios, creating a more

dynamic, intense training experience. In addition

to being cost effective and removing the

annoyance of using blank rounds, the Machine

Gun Simulator and Blast Simulator allow you to

work from a safe distance, while still

experiencing the high decibel emission of live

fire.

Both gun simulators are controlled by

sophisticated radio control systems that allow

for complete control of the unit from a distance

of up to one mile. Multiple units may be

triggered from a single point or control station.

All communication is through a wireless

operating system.

ITTS Gun Simulators uphold the mission to

allow you to spend less time “preparing to train”,

and more time training more people.

A spokesperson from DALO, added: “We

were impressed by the manner in which

FAUN Trackway approached our initial

brief, and the ease and speed in which the

team went from concept to design to

fully-functioning prototype. We are

confident that with this order we will

significantly enhance our capabilities in

difficult environments.”

FAUN Trackway has secured a significantorder from the Danish Defence Acquisitionand Logistics Organisation (DALO) for itsportable roadway systems.

MGMS-BD LITEDenmark is the first country to place anorder for a number of FAUN Trackway’slatest product, the Medium GroundMobility System – Beam Dispenser LITE(MGMS-BD LITE).

The MGMS-BD LITE was developedfollowing extensive consultations with theDanish armed forces, who specified thatthey required an adaptable product thatwould be compatible with the existingroadway systems it held in its inventory.MGMS-BD LITE can be fitted to a widerange of front-end loader vehicles tofacilitate the rapid deployment andcollection of MLC 30 Trackway which iscapable of withstanding loads of up to 30tonnes. The Trackway is used to helpvehicles traverse difficult terrain, and isparticularly suitable for beach landings.For armed forces whose operations takethem into constricted spaces, FAUNTrackway has also developed the MGMS-BD. This system features a 180 rotating
