  • PEGEM Version 5.2 New Capabilities
     

    • Overlapping Plumes / Adaptive Grids

      • Overlapping hotspots can now store a combined effect from different hazard types including different agents and different hazard types (i.e., inhalation, skin contact, etc.)

      • Overlapping hotspot grids use adaptive gridding techniques to refine resolution where necessary.

    • 3D Visualization

      • An option has been added to PSE to view event results on a 3D globe. The user can place events, view trajectories, and display event output in this 3D environment.

      • Incorporate viewing of high resolution images for background.

    • Online Help (Phase I)

      • Online help is available from the Event and Threat wizards.

    • GUI Upgrades

      • Using multiple sample times, the user can setup and create an AVI movie to show an animation of hazard evolution over time for a given scenario.

      • The scenario classification and PEGEM logo are now displayed in the PSE graphic.

    • Target Model Updates

      • PEGEM now has capability for debris analysis for spherical and Magnus rotor bomblet payloads.

    • Interface / Data Updates

      • PEELS engagement lethality interface

      • LandScan 2002

    • Integrate CT-Analyst

      • Users may access the CT-Analyst GUI through PSE

    • Parametric Engine (Phase II)

    • Uncertainty Modeling

      • Event location and submunition ejection uncertainties can now be modeled to calculate a source term location uncertainty.
