1. A system for real-time tracking and display of movement of an airborne hazardous agent comprising:

  • a. one or more mobile units, each of said mobile units having a wind parameter measuring apparatus that provides real-time wind parameters, a navigation system that provides a real-time heading and position of said mobile unit, and radio transmitting means;

    b. a computer system having an input for receiving said real-time wind parameters and said real-time mobile unit heading and position, and configured with control logic to enable said computer system to obtain said wind parameters, mobile unit heading, mobile unit position, determine a real-time wind heading and generate an image indicating a geographic point corresponding to a position where said hazardous agent was released, and indicating predicted movement over time based upon said real-time wind parameters; and

    c. a display responsive to said computer system for displaying said image.
