Aircraft Rescue and Fire-Fighting Simulators
Introducing the most realistic, flexible and effective way to train.
CYBERDRIVE ARFF Simulators are the perfect solution for airports looking to dramatically increase ARFF crew proficiency and operational readiness while at the same reducing training costs.
Traditional ARFF training methods are exposed to rising fuel prices, environmental and safety concerns, wear-and-tear of increasingly expensive vehicles and the practical limitations of live fire training. Simulator-based ARFF training overcomes all of these constraints to offer the most efficient and cost-effective method of developing operator proficiency and maintaining crew readiness.
ThoroughTec has unmatched expertise and experience in accurately simulating OEM vehicles and creating virtual airport environments, which together allow you to screen prospective firefighters, develop and maintain skills or hone operational tactics and techniques.
“Our ARFF Simulator has saved us significant time and money and provided a safe training environment, whilst not compromising flight operations.”
Accurate Vehicle Replication
CYBERDRIVE ARFF simulators accurately simulate your real ARFF vehicle. Every physical attribute and performance characteristic is exhaustively researched so that the look, feel and performance of the simulated machine is almost indistinguishable from the real vehicle. This attention to detail is essential to achieving a direct transfer of skills learned in the simulator to the actual vehicle and is the cornerstone of our high-fidelity simulation architecture.
Customised Virtual Airports
Virtual airport environments for ARFF simulators are meticulously modelled to replicate real-world locations and conditions in exceptional detail. Whether it’s a large international hub or a regional airport, every runway, taxiway, parking bay, service road, fire station and terminal building is recreated to mirror the layout and operational characteristics of your actual airport, ensuring that each training scenario reflects the true challenges faced on the airfield.
These highly detailed virtual worlds enable ARFF crews to familiarise themselves with their specific airport layouts and runway clearance procedures in a safe, controlled setting. The result is a realistic, immersive training environment that enhances confidence, efficiency, and safety during critical real-world emergencies
Comprehensive Training and Evaluation
CYBERDRIVE ARFF simulators feature an integrated suite of powerful and intuitive training tools, allowing instructors to create highly customised exercises. Operator behavior is monitored in real time, and automatically recorded and analysed for post-mission performance reporting. Additionally, real-time coaching is facilitated through an in-session situational visualisation and messaging system, whilst debriefing takes place around the dynamic 3D After-Action Review (AAR) system.
Any time. Any day.
Train according to your schedule 24 hours a day, 365 days a year without taking actual ARFF vehicles out of service or disrupting flight operations.
Command the Environment
From clear skies to fierce crosswinds and driving rain, modify weather conditions at your will to challenge even the most seasoned fire fighters.
Train as an individual or team
Train your ARFF operators to fight fires as an individual or as a team with AI ARFF vehicles or if networked, with other ARFF operators.
Comprehensive Scenarios
Select your incident location, choose from a wide range of aircraft in varying states and select your desired fire types, intensities, and spread rates. Place people, obstacles, and AI-controlled traffic around the scene, all to test decision-making and teamwork under pressure.
Prepare for the Unexpected
Simulate real-world vehicle emergencies such as monitor failures, engine malfunctions or system failures, all in a safe, controlled environment.
Monitor. Coach. Debrief.
View and monitor exercise parameters and scoring. Provide instruction and activate training aids. Debrief with comprehensive reports and After-Action-Review.
