BoomCast (Sonic Boom Forecast System)
In cooperation with scientists at Wyle Laboratories Inc., RWDI has developed a one-of-a-kind
software system for predicting, up to 48 hours into the future, the probability
and magnitude of sonic booms associated with military aircraft training over a 45,000
km2 area of northwest Labrador, Canada. The BoomCast system integrates
real-time weather forecasts and Wyle's PCBoom model with a custom GIS interface
to allow planners to select training activities that minimize environmental impacts.
