CAE
CAE of Montreal makes three computer simulation products (called STRIVE, ITEMS and RAVE) for Boeing, the “lead systems integrator” for the whole “missile defense” weapons program.
Boeing uses these products to actually design, create, assess, test, evaluate and develop “missile defense” weapons systems.
This is called simulation-based design or computational prototyping and it has put Canada at the leading edge of a global revolution in industrial design.
CAE is probably the world’s top war-technology simulation company, making high-tech simulators to train warfighters on almost every major weapons system in the US arsenal.
CAE has been heavily subsidised by Canadian taxpayers, including at least $200 million from Industry Canada.
One top CAE executive, Donald Campbell, joined the company after a 36-year career in Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, where he was a Liberal Deputy Foreign Minister and a Deputy Minister for International Trade. He was Chretien’s rep at G-8 Summits and Ambassador to Korea and Japan.
Another former CAE executive and cheerleader for BMD is Derek Burney, a former Canadian ambassador to the US who was Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s chief of staff.
