All-in-one System |
|
| Models
the full spectrum of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and Toxic Industrial
Chemical releases. |
|
Easy to Use |
|
| The
MIDAS-AT Graphical User Interface
was developed for the user to allow easy scenario input by prompting
for incident characteristics using a top-down event tree approach.
Many users are first responders, emergency officials and military
personnel who need to build a scenario quickly to obtain a quantitative,
visual representation of the situation at hand. |
|
Scalable and Flexible |
|
| MIDAS-AT
can be configured to meet many different user requirements. All versions
feature an innovative field-tested, interactive graphical user interface.
Live displays of hazardous areas on local maps based on real-time
data are one of MIDAS-AT's key features. |
|
Dispersion Models |
|
|
Results are
based on atmospheric dispersion models tailored for the release
conditions, whether they are in open flat terrain, in an urban area
with tall buildings, or inside a building.

Real time Updates with Fast, Visible Results |
|
|
MIDAS-AT can
model, in real time, the effects of changing weather patterns during
the course of an incident. MIDAS-AT can display the effects of a
toxic release as the incident unfolds.
Our customizable
output display provides the HAZMAT Team or early responder with
more than just plume hazard prediction area information. MIDAS-AT
enables the user to view current weather conditions, surface contamination,
and hazard projection areas. The user has the ability to vary the
parameters of the incident by applying foam, stopping evaporation,
opening windows, and shutting off air conditioning (for inside building
applications) - and all of this is updated every five minutes!

Data Collection and Internet Capabilities |
|
|
MIDAS-AT automatically
collects, stores and uses real-time data from meteorological instruments,
Internet weather sites (such as NOAA), and chemical and biological
sensors.
MIDAS-AT has
extensive communication capabilities, including the ability to send
E-mail messages with attached .jpg or .bmp hazard prediction files.
