Home/Public Safety & Security/Programs Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure, Natural Resources Canada. CAE’s Professional Services team was selected to be the applications specialists for Canada's largest, distributed service oriented program, the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure led by Natural Resources Canada's GeoConnections program. As the applications specialists, CAE Professional Services supports many aspects of standards-based service architectures, specifically within the program domains of the following: public safety and security; issues important to aboriginal peoples; sustainable development and the environment; and public health. Each program has key public safety and security concerns each addressed through a thorough understanding of the necessary people, processes and technology of the discreet domain. CBRN simulation-based experimentation tool, Defence Research Development Canada. CAE Professional Services developed a simulation-based decision tool to evaluate alternative emergency management strategies for CBRN events. Our team created a visualization and simulation environment which integrated models of CBRN hazards, models of CBRN detectors and protective equipment, and models of first responder behaviour into a single experimentation environment. This program demonstrated scenarios for Chemical, Biological, and Radiological threats using Ottawa (Canada), Washington DC (USA), and a military base as scenario sites. Our team provided modelling and simulation development, human factors engineering, and project management support. Characterization of complex situations, Defence Research Development Canada. The program involved characterizing complex situations resulting from terrorist activities and asymmetric threats. This included defining the interoperability linkages between the Canadian Department of National Defence and other government departments and the role of the Joint Staff as well as developing a Generic Collective Response Model. This project required the review and consolidation of information from civilian agency emergency response plans and Canadian Forces doctrine. Emergency Telecommunications Emergency Support Function (ESF), Industry Canada. Industry Canada contracted CAE Professional Services to help consolidate and submit the emergency support function description for emergency telecommunications, one of 14 sector submissions to be included in Canada's Federal Emergency Response Plan. The Telecommunications ESF was used as a model for other government departments submitting ESF's within the other 13 domains. In addition, CAE Professional Services was asked to develop and submit a Use Guide for the National Public Alerting System (NPAS). This work shows CAE Professional Services value and knowledge within the national level critical systems space. Joint Simulation, Modelling, Acquisition, Requirements, Training and Support (JSMARTS) II, Defence Research Development Canada. JSMARTS II involved conducting an architectural framework analysis of multi-agency response to a 'dirty bomb' in a large urban environment, followed by a simulation-based experiment of new capability concepts. It included the development of a simulation-based command centre, the integration of multi-locational simulation technologies in a distributed synthetic environment, and the introduction of uninhabited autonomous vehicles (UAV) technologies into the collective all-agency response structure. Municipal-provincial-federal interoperability framework, Defence Research Development Canada. This CRTI program saw the development of a planning and training framework to support multi-agency collaboration and interoperability. It included applying capability engineering-based frameworks for organizational analysis and building a simulation-based environment to support analysis, planning, and training for command staff for major event planning. The tool will be used at the Justice Institute of British Columbia, Vancouver (Canada). Multi-agency situational awareness system, Public Safety Canada. MA SAS was initiated as a proof of concept conceived in partnership with Public Safety Canada. The MA SAS is an asynchronous network linking all emergency operations centres in an effort to share situational awareness on activities each organization is supplying to a specific incidents response. The MA SAS results in broader communication of situation data and allows support agencies a clearer picture sooner in the response cycle, therefore, increasing the ability to arrest the incident earlier, thus saving lives and money. CAE Professional Services has been the architect of the solution since its inception and uses a service oriented architecture (SOA) approach along with emerging interoperability standards such as common alerting protocol (CAP 1.2) and GeoRSS. Optimization tool for paramedic deployment, Ottawa Paramedic Service. CAE Professional Services is developing an operational decision support tool for paramedic communications staff to redeploy teams. The CAE Deploy solution integrates a predictive scheduling engine in a simulation environment to provide real-time redeployment strategies to support operational decision making. Simulation lab development, George Brown College. CAE Professional Services has worked with George Brown College to establish and operate a simulation laboratory for an emergency management college program. This program involved creating interactive laboratory with simulation-based exercises at the building, site, and city level in addition to creating an Emergency Operations Command Team training environment.
