Southampton, PA, USA; April 25, 2012 – Environmental Tectonics Corporation (“ETC”) was recently awarded an upgrade contract to modernize an aeromedical center in eastern Europe for an undisclosed customer. The contract is valued at more than $9.3 million, and will include a total upgrade of the existing aeromedical training facility. The project is being accomplished by ETC’s Aircrew Training Systems (ATS) division, and will take twenty months to complete.

ETC provided the original facility as a turn-key project in 1985 and has provided numerous upgrades, enhancements, and new equipment over the years. This continuum of excellence in providing service and technology resulted in the issuance of this highly competitive contract award. The aeromedical center upgrade project will include two new systems: a Night Vision Training System and an Ejection Seat Simulator; as well as the upgrades of the existing Altitude Chamber and the Human Centrifuge. These upgrades will include a total overhaul of the equipment leaving only the major structural elements and providing state of the art latest ETC technology that will increase the training value and prolong the life and effectiveness of the equipment.

In order to minimize the training interruptions, ETC will be performing the upgrades and installation of new equipment on a staggered schedule. Upon completion ETC will provide follow-on services in the form of a warranty package and an on-site maintenance contract.

William F. Mitchell, President and CEO of ETC said, “ETC is pleased to have been chosen to continue its work for this important client. We believe that this is the most cost effective solution offering increased training capabilities, sustainment, availability, and reliability for years to come.”

Meeting the Minds Behind the Technology: Steve Ritter, Project Manager and Lead Design Engineer

etcCorpAdmin — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 08:01:39 +0000

This month’s featured ETC family member is Steve Ritter and holds a BSME from Penn State. He got his start 22 years ago at ETC, but moved onto other opportunities shortly thereafter only to return to ETC 2 years ago. Steve’s early interests in all things mechanical brought him to this place. Steve grew up Street Rodding with his family, which provided many opportunities to learn from his Dad. And of course, Legos were a significant part of his childhood. Steve always saw himself following a career of mechanical design but never imagined he would be a manager and design lead, but he enjoys the opportunity to pass on his experience to others and learn new skills himself.

As the lead design engineer for the US Air Force Research Altitude Chambers at ETC, Steve is juggling concepts and priorities all the time. Each of the four chamber designs that he oversees must meet a different specification. As such it is really four projects in one that all must coincide in the end into one facility at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. (For further information about project updates see the news release above.) The project requires an enormous amount of organization and intense thought. Because each chamber’s unique characteristics require a different set of design skills, the project is an organizational as well as mental challenge. Steve says of the USAF RAC experience,

“Every design challenge presents its own situation that must be handled as it comes. For each situation we just start digging into it, doing our research, asking questions, spending time thinking through potential solutions. As a result, I am being stretched in this position in many ways, but in the big scheme of things, stretching is good, and can result in good fruit.”

Ultimately it involves lots of thinking, conversations, collaboration, research and a bit of trial and error. But he believes that as a result, he is “…more willing to learn and solve problems in broader ways, inviting more people into the mix at times, and exploring new ideas at other times.”
