Abstract:
1. A system for predicting Home Made Explosives (HME) formulation outcomes that correspond to a list of possible source chemicals, comprising: a. a digital computer, with required resources of processing devices, memory storage, and user input and output devices, and programmed with computer instructions, for performing the following steps, b. storing in computer memory a Chemicals Database, with each chemical represented by a unique key, c. storing in computer memory an HME Database, comprising HME source chemicals listed under various HME formulations, with each source chemical represented by a unique key, identical to the key assigned to the same source chemical in the Chemicals Database, with each source chemical assigned into a bin within each HME formulation, with each bin including one primary source chemical for that HME formulation, and any secondary source chemicals capable of being used instead of that primary source chemical in that HME formulation, d. receiving and storing in computer memory an Observed Materials List (OML), consisting of selected chemicals from the Chemicals Database, with each chemical on the OML being represented by the same unique key as in the Chemicals Database, e. performing the following operations to calculate relative likelihoods of potential HME formulations corresponding to the selected OML chemicals: f. displaying the results, in terms of weighted percentages and relative rankings of HME formulations having at least one match to the OML, on the provided user output device, and, g. repeating preceding steps d through f, recalculating point scores, percentage scores, weighted percentage scores, and relative likelihood rankings, of the identified HME formulations, and immediately displaying the new results, each time that a chemical from the Chemicals Database is either added to or deleted from the Observed Materials List.
