Minor Traumatic Brain Injuries

ExploSim shows where mTBI can occur in training and rehearsal thereby minimising the number of exposures to live firings. The initial impetus for developing ExploSim was the questions “How close is too close?”. The concept was to emulate explosive effects without causing them. A ‘proof of concept’ model was developed in 2005 but the existing technology was not up to the challenge. The project was resurrected in 2019 and was in production by 2022.

ExploSim: Emulation v Simulation.

We use “Emulation” when describing our unique ‘Hazard over Distance’ systems that show effects without causing them. The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines the terms as: Emulate: try to equal or excel, rival, imitate zealously. Simulate: Feign, pretend to have, be, or feel, put on, resemble, mimic. ExploSim is an emulator, not a simulator: ExploSim allows the participants to practice and exercise in the real world environment, in real time without the encumbrances of goggles, computers or studio environments. See what happens in the real world now.

ExploSim Upgrade

Layer 3 Services has been accepted as a member of the US Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium ( https://mtec-sc.org/ ). With it’s recently acquired NCAGE and UEI status, Layer 3 Services is now able to deal directly with US Government agencies. The ExploSim system, being a method of reducing exposure to blast effects during training and operational rehearsal, and the training of medical personnel in treating explosive related injuries, can now combine with US commercial and Government agencies to provide an effective response to the requirements of the BOSA and the Under-Secretary’s directive. Some of our other ‘Hazard over Distance’ products under development also have medical technology applications.
