A system for real-time tracking and display of movement of an airborne
hazardous agent includes one or more mobile units each having a wind
parameter measuring apparatus that provides real-time wind direction and
speed, a navigation system that provides a mobile unit heading and
real-time position of the mobile unit, and a radio transmitter; a
computer system having an input for receiving the wind parameters and the
mobile unit heading and the mobile unit position, a processor and a
memory and that is configured with control logic to enable the computer
system to obtain the wind parameters, mobile unit heading, mobile unit
position, determine a wind heading and generate an image having a
geographic point corresponding to position where the hazardous agent was
released, a graphical indication of possible movement over time, and a
graphical indication of predicted movement over time based upon the wind
parameters; and a display for displaying the image.
