Abstract

Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear explosive (CBRNe) incidents are relatively rare. However when they occur these incidents have a significant impact upon the nearby population, and the land it contaminates. The forensic teams who are tasked to investigate the areas are guided by standard operating procedures. These SOPS dictate how the incident is investigates. SOPS can be large and unwieldy documents, and there may be a large number of them at a single incident. Consequently it is possible that an incorrect procedure may be chosen during an incident because of partial or incomplete information. The reselection of SOPS based upon new information will be slow because it is a manual process. This system demonstration introduces an information retrieval that ranks SOPS based upon information generated by a probabilistic reasoning system and the scene commander. It ranks the SOPS relevance to the current incident. The system is designed to reduce the cognitive load upon the scene commander and therefore reduce their errors.
