FireSim

Cost-Effective Simulation-Based Training System for Firefighters and Emergency Responders.

The L3Harris FireSim™ accurately simulates emergency vehicle operations adjusting to size, weight, turning radius, tire, and suspension characteristics to suit the emergency vehicles that it simulates.

Value-Added Training Capabilities

• Students can choose between various fire truck apparatus, first responders, or EMT vehicles with an optional interchangeable driving station for E350 ambulance.
• Create and train in various medical, fire, or hazmat response scenarios.
• Realistic graphics to teach scene size-up and staging of apparatus.
• Practice collision-avoidance techniques while driving to the scene of a fire.
• Train drivers to anticipate hazards with emergency response techniques for all types of driving situations.
• Allows fire departments to screen and qualify potential hires and improve new-hire and career-employee driving skills.
• Combine classroom instruction, computer-based training, and interactive simulation with coaching by skilled industry professionals.
• Reduces training time.
  
  • Industry experts concur one hour of simulation training is the equivalent of up to four hours of “behind-the-wheel” instruction.
• Prep your drivers through specific scenarios to handle extreme situations without risk to personnel or property.

Best-in-Class Simulator Features

• Touchscreen interface for intuitively controlling the system settings and training scenarios.
• Instructor operator station (IOS) included for effective management of training objectives, scenarios, and malfunction simulation.
• Scenario difficulty can be adjusted to accommodate any experience level.
  
  • Easily reproduce and rehearse unique driving situations.
• Numerous scenarios cover a wide variety of training objectives.
• Vehicle, autonomous traffic and environment libraries cover a wide variety of geographic settings and conditions.
• After action review (AAR) and playback capability.
• Collection and reporting of scoring data.
• Performance assessment tools and replay/de-brief software enhance training effectiveness.
• Our reconfigurable Glass Dash allows the PatrolSim™ to load different vehicle types (synthetic gauges and instrumentation giving greater flexibility and upgradability).
• Change the weather conditions (rain, snow, ice, and fog), road/traffic environment to urban, suburban, rural, mountains, motorway, desert, and lighting conditions to day, night or twilight.
• The Glass Console allows the instructor control of the simulator via touchscreen at the operator's console (OpCon) and gives operators simple and quick control to change vehicle type.

High-Fidelity Visual System

• High-resolution visual display system with 4K-ready LED LCD displays.
• A sharp and visually accurate 180° field-of-view creates an immersive driving environment.
• State-of-the-art simulation software delivers sharp visuals to enhance learning objectives.
• Enhanced graphics engine capability enables population of more vehicles and objects per scenario.

Modern, Realistic Emergency Vehicle Design

• Users can choose from a variety of predefined emergency vehicle configurations using different fire trucks, fire engines, ambulances, battalion chief trucks, etc.
• Force-loaded steering provides real-time feedback to augment muscle memory in situations such as a tire blowing, hitting the curb, or sloshing liquid loads.
• Emergency vehicle cab creates a realistic learning environment that includes a driving seat, steering wheel, brake, clutch, and accelerator pedals to enhance realism and improve learning retention.
• Realistic emergency vehicle transmission.
• Realistic vehicle dynamics including 21 DOF vehicle model.
