ADS TV Presents: By Our Hands – Stories of American Industry

Thursday, June 27th, 2013

As most of you know, I am a big supporter of American Manufacturing. It’s what created our middle class and as a foundation, made us the powerhouse that we are. So, I feel very fortunate to have been asked to help with this project as ADS TV takes a look inside American manufacturers. This initial episode covers LBT Inc which is located here locally in Virginia Beach. During filming, I was captivated by the stories related to us by London Bridge Trading Co’s Founder Doug McDougal and his VP of Manufacturing Ken Beasley. Several times a year I’m invited over to LBT and I love spending time on the floor, watching the employees craft American Made tactical gear. I’m so glad that we are able to share this behind-the-scenes glimpse with you. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as everyone involved enjoyed making it.

Special thanks to ADS Inc, LBT and Ironclad Media Alliance.

The Innovative Tactical Training Solutions HH-60 CASEVAC Training Simulator is an accurate representation of an H-60 cabin that offers accurate crew positions including realistic crew securing landmarks, allowing securing of patients as well as aircraft lighting (white, green/ blue).

It provides the capability to train appropriate personnel on the proper methods of administering medical aid to occupants from the interior of a structure within the parameters of a training exercise in multiple conditions and can even be set up to simulate an H-60 crash.

The remote PC controlled unit, with a custom designed interface allows for an increase/decrease in the level of stress on the trainee via the control of environmental factors, including light, noise, wind (fans), water, smoke (foggers), and other specialized components. Factors can also be controlled manually via the Sensory Control Unit (SCU) which comes with the simulator and is seen above.
