Analysis
CAE Professional Services provides user-centred, simulation-based analysis support to capability and operational planning, the acquisition cycle, systems engineering programs, and design and development teams. Our analysis support follows documented methodologies that engage the full range of stakeholders and investigate the impact of alternative concepts, designs, requirements, and decisions on human/system performance, training, and personnel.
Applying a comprehensive requirements analysis process
The foundation of all programs is a comprehensive requirements analysis. CAE Professional Services has developed a systematic methodology for identifying and analyzing requirements. Grounded in human factors theory, our unique approach to requirements analysis engages stakeholders at all levels (from technical authority to end user) to capture the strategic, tactical, and operational requirements for the design of a system, process, or capability. These requirements are then used as performance metrics for any system or capability design. They are modelled within a synthetic environment to test and evaluate design alternatives, including virtual representations, prototypes, or final built systems. These performance metrics and synthetic environments support the entire development cycle and ensure requirements are being met and addressed before acquisition or production.
Focus on the human
Our team's strength in human factors and human systems integration forms the foundation of our user-centred, simulation-based analysis approach for both system- and capability-level projects in the defence, homeland security, critical infrastructure, and emergency management markets.
At the system level, analysis systematically explores the mission, functions, goals, and tasks assigned to individuals and teams in order to define and validate design requirements. Human systems integration planning ensures the inclusion of user-centred analysis throughout the design process, evaluating the impact of alternative designs on human performance, system safety, training, and personnel.
At the capability level, the analysis of human performance, training, and personnel is extended to accommodate the system-of-systems perspective through our Capability Engineering and Design Approach (CEDA)™.

Simulation affords project and capability planning teams a cost-effective environment to conduct analysis using multiple scenarios, changing parameters for the system, process, environment, and operator quickly and easily. Analysis is conducted using human operators, human behaviour representations, or computer generated forces, or any combination of the three in distributed virtual or live simulations.
