Abstract:
1. A system for monitoring an environment, the system comprising: a chemical sensor, a biological sensor, and a radiation sensor connected over a computer network, a library module that includes at least one computer aided process, the at least one computer aided process being capable of determining an output based upon a predetermined training set of a plurality of sensor parameters; an external system that includes an external database that stores atmospheric information utilized in analyzing the environment so as to predict a future atmospheric state of the environment; and an output module coupled to the library module and the external system, the output module being adapted to output a result based upon the information obtained from the external database of the external system, the predetermined training set, and the plurality of sensor parameters; wherein a current state of the environment, as obtained from the chemical, biological and radiation sensors, is compared to a historical state using statistical, structural, or physical models, wherein the at least one computer aided process compares at least one of the plurality of sensor parameters against a portion of the training set of parameters, and determines if the at least one of the plurality of sensor parameters is within a predetermined range of the portion of the training set of parameters.
