Immersive simulation training tools to enhance CBRN preparedness
Elements of the military and first responders must be prepared to respond to weapons of mass effect that contain Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) materials
There is no substitute for live training; however, training for certain scenarios involving CBRNE threats is prohibitively expensive and dangerous
Physics-based virtual and augmented reality tools can supplement live training with high fidelity simulated scenarios that would otherwise be impossible to train for
Amentum is an Australian startup company founded in 2016 with a mission to improve global security by solving problems in counter proliferation, CBRNE, and nuclear security.
Iwan is a former academic who researched and published in the fields of radiation detection and measurement, computational modelling of radiation, and VR/AR simulation training tools for radiation workers. In 2014 he co-founded 2MRD: a consulting company providing a computational modelling service to clients in healthcare, energy and resources, and Defence. He is an Honorary Fellow of the University of Wollongong (Australia), and a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
As a member of the Project Outcomes simulation team, professional engineering services of Amentum are available through the Simulation Support Panel and the Defence Support Services Panel.
The amentum was a leather strap used by ancient greeks to extend the range and stability of the javelin in flight.
Similarly, Amentum Defence and Security exists to enhance the capabilities of the defence and security organisations of Australia and its allies, to help make the world a safer place.
