Abstract

An algorithm to calculate the threat zone using RT-FDDA, VDRAS, and VLAS winds, for a building or site was developed as part of a total airborne-hazard protection system. The system is flexible in its application in that it can be readily transferred to various locations as long as high resolution winds are available. The threat zone is an important tool for homeland security operations in that it provides heightened awareness for personnel, and allows for targeted monitoring by mobile sensors and stand-off detectors. The threat zone is determined using a Monte Carlo technique of multiple continuous releases at potential release sites.
