Environmental Tectonics Corporation Successfully Completes
Factory Acceptance Testing Of Night Vision Training System
Factory acceptance of a Night Vision Training System (NVTS) sold
to the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) has been completed by
Environmental Tectonics Corporation (ETC), the company announced
Monday. The system was sold to the RSAF through ETC's Aircrew
Training Systems (ATS) business unit. The new NVTS will be shipped
to Saudi Arabia to be installed in the new RSAF aeromedical
training center.
The NVTS consists of a computer-based training system with
automated training programs for unaided vision and Night Vision
Goggle (NVG) flying in the night environment and a Terrain Model
Board designed to replicate the Saudi Arabia terrain. The NVTS will
be installed in a theater-style classroom specifically designed for
night vision training in the purpose-built RSAF areomedical
training center
The RSAF will use ETC's NVTS to train their pilots how to safely
and effectively conduct unaided vision night flying operations as
well as the safe use of their own NVGs (NVGs are not provided with
ETC's NVTS). This type of training complements the RSAF human
factors training program by training their pilots in the procedures
and techniques for coping with the hazards associated with night
flying. The RSAF is committed to the professional development and
safety of their pilots through modernization of its aviation
physiology training program.
