Argon briefing updates in SE Asia

Argon has just returned from an 11-day trip to South East Asia, visiting existing and potential customers in Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia.

The primary purpose of this series of meetings and presentations was to demonstrate how the PlumeSIM wide area field exercise system can be used to enhance the use of the growing range of Argon simulation instruments, and provide complementary equipment instruction for multiple personnel over extended training areas in any environment.

The PlumeSIM system allows exercise planners to create and control virtual chemical and radiological release scenarios on user selected mapping at any location.  These scenarios are broadcast to GPS tracked trainees in the field, causing simulation instrument activation to engender appropriate learning responses in real time.  With instrument use recorded, fully featured After Action Review functions enable accurate assessment of individual, group and wider response capabilities.

The success of the visits was only made possible through the able assistance and organisational efforts of local partner companies Altrus Pte. Ltd. (Singapore), GH International Co. Ltd. (Thailand), and APP Systems Sdn. Bhd. (Malaysia), and the enthusiastic reception of the individuals and organisations who made available the time and personnel to receive Argon's briefing updates.  Many thanks to all of you for your hard work, kind hospitality and generous participation.

Argon to attend EMEX 2010

Argon will be exhibiting a range of CBRN detector simulation training instruments at EMEX 2010, 01-03 November 2010, San Antonio, Texas, USA.

EMEX is the Emergency Management and Homeland Security exhibition that runs alongside the conference of the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM).  With more than 2000 emergency management professionals expected to attend, most of the available exhibition space has already been reserved, but for anyone responsible for ensuring that responders know how to use chemical and radiological detectors, don't forget to visit Argon at booth 357.

At the same time as attending EMEX, Argon will be exhibiting and presenting a paper at the 3rd CBRNe Convergence Conference in Florida, and is also scheduled to present a paper at the XIIIth International CBRN Defence Symposium, to be held at the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom, on 02 November 2010. 

The level of international interest in Argon simulation training systems has never been greater, with both existing and new customers requiring that their personnel be able to provide instruction in the use of the latest critical response equipment to the highest standards.  For further information on cost effective and comprehensive provision of CBRN detector training, contact Argon today and book your place at these premier showcase events.
