Testimonials (mouseover to stop rotation):
“Since the mid 80’s Monterey Technologies, Inc. has been supporting simulation-based research on Army helicopter crew station design issues for AMRDEC’s Aeroflightdynamics directorate at NASA Ames Research Center. Their work has been uniformly excellent. Two of their personnel received commendation awards for their outstanding work for us. Without question, MTI is a company we look to when facing technical barriers in human factors, and crew station design.”  
“Monterey Technologies, Inc. is one of the most competent and professional companies I have had the pleasure to work with over my 37 year career. Their knowledge of human behavior in complex military systems is complementary to our simulation and modeling efforts. Dr. Hennessy’s technical reputation is nationally recognized and this knowledge directly reflects upon the outstanding technical staff he has developed. His Management Controls are superb. I look forward to working with them on the many forthcoming opportunities to provide support for our national defense and homeland security needs.”  
“I have known Bob Hennessy for over twenty years. Monterey Technologies, Inc. is one of the best human factors companies around. They are currently helping us develop new approaches to aerial gunnery training and I am more than pleased with their work.”  
“MTI has a sterling reputation in the human factors community for careful, high quality analyses and good value for cost. I have personally known MTI staff and about their human factors work for more than fifteen years. They always deliver a high quality product. They helped the Air Force establish the Crew System Ergonomics Information Analysis Center (CSERIAC) and recently delivered a human factors test bed for a satellite controller's workstation.”  
"Monterey Technologies, Inc. has been one of my most valuable contractors for over ten years. Their work in support of the Army's Rotorcraft Pilot's Associate (RPA) simulation testing was particularly important. Their crew station design and evaluation work is first-rate. I have no problem recommending MTI to anyone who needs human factors and simulation expertise."  
“The work that Monterey Technologies, Inc. team is doing for the Commonwealth of Australia developing complex mission scenarios for training our Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning and Control mission crews is outstanding. You are our only contractor on the project who delivers more than we expect, - ahead of schedule!”  
“the quality of work MTI provides to the RPT is consistently outstanding. The company obviously hand-picks it’s employees. I have never seen such a consistently excellent performance from contractors or Government organizations. We couldn’t get this job done without the support from MTI”  
Human-in-the-Loop Design
Do cognitive psychologists assist your engineering / design efforts?

Most products designed today do not benefit from cognitive science. Companies looking to save money up front use a process where requirements or specifications are provided to an engineering team. The engineering team hands their product or system design over to the manufacturing group that builds the product, and the marketing and sales group is responsible for product sales and distribution.

Nowhere in this process has anyone actually worked with the users to make sure their needs were being met in functionality and design. This results in products with large amounts of functionality that the average person does not use (waste) or cannot figure out how to use (frustration).

Our human factors experts facilitate a human-in-the-loop design process using modeling and simulation to involve representative users at multiple stages throughout the design process. We also use rapid prototyping techniques to collect product usability data without the need to build a high fidelity representation of the product or system.

The result! Faster design processes, more user-friendly products or systems, and more satisfied customers or users. This can also help you to save time and money in the long run on re-design efforts.
