Mission SandBox

NRAT Mission SandBox

The NRAT Mission SandBox is a tool designed to give an Incident Command Team a live air picture in a 250 NM box around the search area or natural disaster area.  The SandBox gets its data from ADS-B and radar data fed through a high-end tracker.  The tracks them go through more NRAT tools to add more information and determine the icon it should have.  It figures the icon type based on ADS-B and Mode 3 transponder data.  Green = 1200 (VFR) track; Blue = Tracks under ATC control; Purple = CAP-owned aircraft; Red = aircraft on a firefighting mission.

*** The SandBox system is currently under revision to add more capabilities to it.
