The MITRE Corporation has developed a Hazard Warning
Algorithm (HWA) to give nuclear, biological, and chemical
(NBC) detection devices the ability to express chemical
concentrations. These patented algorithms determine
hazard warning levels of NBC agents. The algorithm
is used to generate hazard level indications, measure
concentrations, and determine accumulated dosages.
This algorithm indicates the hazard level when the
estimated level values match or exceed empirically
predetermined hazard dosage values for the NBC agent.
These algorithms can be used in conjunction with
NBC detection devices to achieve extremely fast measurement
and processing times.
