Forterra Awarded CPP by US Army

Forterra has been awarded a Commercialization Pilot Program (CPP) by the US Army for medical training simulations of combat scenarios. The CPP involves Forterra’s On-Line Interactive Virtual Environment or OLIVE, which is also being utilized by the National Institutes of Health to train individuals and teams in critical HAZMAT skills.

Forterra’s OLIVE platform provides an integrated medical training solution to support the unique and growing requirements of the medical community. With Forterra’s OLIVE platform, realistic virtual emergency departments, operating rooms, reception areas, and even entire health-care facilities have been built to support a wide range of training applications, including first responder and trauma training. In the U.S. military, the contemporary operating environment requires combat medics to use their skills in team-based medical combat scenarios for effectively treating trauma patients on the battlefield.

The next phase of the program involves getting US Army approval for the use of OLIVE as a tool for combat medic training.
