HMMWV Egress Assistant Trainer

HMMWV Egress Assistance Trainer (HEAT)

The HEAT increases the situational awareness of vehicle rollover by permitting the instructor to observe driver performance and reaction to emergency conditions without requiring the use of an actual vehicle. The device reinforces the importance of seat positioning, wearing seatbelts, demonstrating the feeling of being disoriented and the actual effort required to execute rollover procedures. The trainer allows individuals and crews to rehearse and physically execute the necessary steps required to survive a vehicle rollover.
