FLAIM Systems introduces the FLAIM Trainer T3, a virtual reality training program for firefighters.
November 15, 2023 – FLAIM Systems, a provider of immersive learning solutions,Today, an announcement has been made about the introduction of the FLAIM Trainer T3, a new innovation specifically designed for the rigorous requirements of military firefighting training.
FLAIM stated that the T3 draws on user insights from multiple firefighting domains, and as a result aims to transform firefighter training methods for air, land, and sea defense environments. New enhanced features, including Team Training and Capture, FLAIM’s proprietary Learning Performance Analytics System, will help to set a new standard in training realism, data capture, recording, and reporting, according to the company.
Using both standard fire safety equipment and virtual reality (VR) technology, the FLAIM Trainer system provides a realistic learning experience without the dangers, expenses, and environmental effects of traditional live fire simulation training. Consequently, this platform assists in adequately training defense personnel for firefighting missions by recreating real-life challenges in a simulated environment.
The training solution offered by the company does not aim to completely replace traditional firefighting training methods. Instead, it focuses on kinesthetic learning to develop muscle memory and enhance the preparedness of personnel for high-value physical training sessions.
“Multi-sensory kinesthetic learning is a robust solution for building muscle memory, allowing personnel to develop field trained skills that better prepares them for real-life operations,” said Dr. James Mullins, Chief Technology Officer at FLAIM Systems. “FLAIM Trainer T3 offers an unparalleled degree of realism to better prepare those who serve.”
Some notable improvements consist of a heat suit that is highly sensitive, an audio experience that resembles real-life, scenarios that deeply engage users with actual equipment, and interactions with objects that feel realistic. Moreover, the platform’s Team Training feature enables multiple users to undergo coordinated remote training simultaneously, offering a scalable and cloud-based solution that brings together training for different teams and departments.
The FLAIM Trainer’s Capture Learning Performance Analytics System provides detailed analysis on the performance of individuals and teams. It offers valuable information for improving training strategies and allows defense units to establish consistent training programs for different departments and roles.
“In an era where defense landscapes are ever evolving, there is a growing need for smart, safe and scalable training solutions,” added Simon Miller, CEO at FLAIM Systems. “We’re excited to introduce the latest generation of FLAIM Trainer, offering defense departments the closest experience to a real-life event to improve collaborative training for dangerous operations, and to inform team training strategies.”
FLAIM Systems has established a strong partnership with HTC VIVE in the VR hardware industry, and they have been collaborating together for an extensive period.
