Abstract

This work describes the development of a GIS tool for ArcView 8.2. FOI is using and developing methods for simulating release of of NBC agents. These simulated fields are used to develop training scenarios for military and civil defense purposes. Scenario planning requires a tool for the examining and displaying of the results of measurements in these NBC fields. This paper describes the design and implementation in VisualBasic 6.0 and ArcView 8.2. The tool enables the user to generate fields describing the simulated release of NBC agents over time. meanalyzed and displayed as: interpolated field, absolute error, relative error, load or accumulated load.It is therefore possible to examine how the precision in the measurements is affected by the nuload or accumulated load. It is therefore possible to examine how the precision in the measurements is affected by the number and density of measurements. The tool is designed to be as flexible and extendable as possible.
