Our Purpose

Our Expertise and Professional Background

We provide scientific risk assessment and risk management to advance human survivability, including stress management, anticipating emergencies from human-made or natural disasters, and mitigating risks to human health in work and living environments. Our methods include applying practical countermeasures to protect human endurance and survival, and using systems analysis and nonlinear mathematics to anticipate the onset of emergency conditions.

Since the early 1990s, our staff has researched complex operational systems and implemented human endurance systems in military and civilian work environments.

We authored numerous scientific papers and developed the original Crew Endurance Management System (CEMS). The U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. NAVY, and segments of the commercial maritime industry tailored CEMS principles and guidance to their specific operational environments.

Our professional experience includes research at the U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory (USAARL) in Fort Rucker, AL, the U.S. Coast Guard Research and Development Center in Groton, CT, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, MD, and at the U.S. Coast Guard Office of Safety and Environmental Health in Washington, D.C.
