Innovation Sonic Boom Forecasting
Institute for Environmental Monitoring and Research (IEMR) – Development of a Sonic Boom Forecast System (BoomCast).
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.
