System Safety

ALE has the technical and analytical expertise to successfully identify potential hazards inherent in design, operation, and support of your products; the techniques to assist in development of hazard mitigation; and the tools to track design implementation. ALE's system approach to safety has helped our customers design, manufacture, and field products that effectively perform their intended function and safely support the needs of their customers. We work directly with the design team to integrate the safety analysis with the overall specialty engineering effort. We then assist you to take advantage of design knowledge and familiarity, available reliability, failure mode, and maintenance data to address safety issues as part of the overall design.

Our safety analysis provides the needed insights to eliminate potential hazards that could occur with a system. By applying the principles of MIL-STD-882 to both military and commercial programs, we enable our customers to understand the critical safety issues early in the design effort. This allows us to identify potential hazards that may occur at any time in a product's life cycle, and provide recommendations to eliminate inherent safety hazards before the product is fielded.

ALE has successfully applied system safety engineering early in the design of equipment and systems, land vehicles, marine vessels, aerospace applications, and general support equipment. Our degreed engineers and experienced technicians coordinate closely with design and program management from preliminary design efforts to detailed design, manufacturing, and fielding efforts. Proven results provide the design team with critical understanding and insights into safety related design criteria, ensuring safety is designed-in and effective programmatic designs decisions related to safety risks can be made in a timely manner.

Our early emphasis on system safety, and effective process for integration within our customer's teams, has proven successful on such programs as the US Navy T-AKE, US Army LSV-7, US Air Force F-22 and F-35, US Navy F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet, and US Army CROWS Lightning programs.

The human interface with a system's hardware or software is typically the most critical aspect of any design. The human interface is also typically the least understood. ALE understands human factors analysis and has the tools and experience to incorporate human factors considerations into your design process by providing timely, meaningful human factors data and insights to support design trade studies and evaluation.
