County of Los Angeles Fire Department Chooses Arotech’s Incident Command Training System

Incident Command Training (ICT) system provides strategic and tactical training for handling emergencies and urban terror incidents

July 11, 2005 - Arotech Corporation (NasdaqNM: ARTX) announced today that its Simulation and Security Division has received an order for a custom Incident Command Training (ICT) system from the County of Los Angeles Fire Department.

Designed to meet requirements established by the County of Los Angeles Fire Department, this custom ICT system includes a comprehensive suite of simulation tools to promote both strategic and tactical training for firefighters facing incidents which require a well defined Emergency Incident Command structure.

The ICT system will be installed in a mobile trailer which can be brought to fire stations anywhere served by the County of Los Angeles Fire Department. It includes a rich range of incidents typically faced by firefighters as well as incidents involving weapons of mass destruction and other acts of terrorism. The ICT system will provide immersive training for single agency incidents involving the fire service as well as grand strategic training for interagency incidents requiring a unified command structure with fire, police, emergency medical services, utilities, and other emergency response agency participation.

Leveraging over 30 years of experience in simulation-based training, the new ICT system is well suited to meet the complex requirements of all emergency responders who are under constant pressure to meet new challenges with scarce resources.

“This training system is the first of its kind in terms of its broad capabilities and degree of interactivity. For the first time we will be training for both large and small events in a repeatable, safe, and economical way,” said Fire Captain Michael Lewis, County of Los Angeles Fire Department. “Our work with Arotech has significantly improved our capability to bring incident command training to all of our fire department members.”

“The County of Los Angeles Fire Department is committed to providing prompt and skillful fire protection and life-safety services,” said Kurt Kleinsorge, Arotech’s ICT Program Manager. “We expect that training on the ICT system will have a strong impact in the protection of both the public and the firefighters who serve the public.”

“This contract is an important development in our focus on the rapidly growing first responder market,” said Robert S. Ehrlich, Chairman, President and CEO of Arotech. “The recent terror attacks in Madrid and London clearly demonstrate the need for training solutions for emergency response agencies worldwide.”
