GPS Based Emergency Drill Plume Release Tracking

Plume Tracker is a program developed by Paul Holland to simplify and computerize emergency drill development and performance.  Once developed, a dynamic plume release exercise can be run via computer control utilizing GPS to locate a vehicle and develop a radiation reading based on position within the plume.  Using an interface to control our simulators and probe paks, these readings can be displayed in real-time for complete realism during the exercise.
