Orlando FL, 26-Nov-07
CAE today announced at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation, and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) the launch of a simulation-based decision support solution for intelligent deployment of first responders called CAE Deploy.
The CAE Deploy solution provides operation decision support to emergency management service (EMS) organizations. Using CAE Deploy, EMS personnel and first responders are deployed more effectively to achieve increased public safety and security.
CAE Deploy integrates state-of-the-art intelligent resource management, traffic prediction, and simulation-based visualization tools to enable EMS personnel to more effectively deploy resources. When integrated with existing operational systems, CAE Deploy offers real-time team positioning data and enhanced situational awareness. Using sophisticated scheduling, optimization and prediction models developed by Actenum Corporation, CAE Deploy will anticipate response times, monitor EMS team workloads and break periods, and help enhance coverage.
“The overall objective of CAE Deploy is simply to provide a solution that improves emergency management services for a community while offering improved job satisfaction for first responders,” said Marc Parent, CAE’s Group President, Simulation Products and Military Training & Services. “Emergency management is one area where we can leverage CAE’s experience and expertise in simulation to support a market that traditionally has not been exposed to simulation for operations and training. We plan to develop a range of simulation-based solutions that will support emergency management teams in planning, testing, training, and deploying for response operations.”
CAE and Actenum have worked closely with the EMS and first responder community to develop the CAE Deploy solution, which includes commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) simulation software from Presagis, CAE’s COTS software company. CAE’s Professional Services division will provide deployment, integration and customization services for clients of the CAE Deploy solution. The Ottawa Paramedic Service communications centre will use CAE Deploy beginning in February 2008.
