EPA and Washington National Guard Region 10 Homeland Response Force and 10th Civil Support Team Radiological Field Exercise Report

EPA's CBRN Consequence Management Advisory Team (CMAT) Field Operations Branch (FOB) Airborne Spectral Photometric Environmental Collection Technology (ASPECT) Program, and

The ASPECT aircraft was used to survey an area in Spokane, WA and transmit that data back to the Seattle-based Tactical Operations Center (TOC) for product development and distribution.
