SOFTWARE FOR CBRN MONITORING IN ACCORDANCE WITH ATP45 STANDARD

With the growing number of possible kinds of weapons, it is very important to every nation to be able to monitor, detect and to be ready to respond to accidental or intentional attacks. One of the categories of threats that can pose threat to large groups of people are chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear incidents, commonly called CBRN threats. So, it is important to develop software that can summarize information about the as efficient distribution and utilization of correct information can enable timely and properly targeted authority activities in response to CBRN accidents. Also, it is important to spread information in a uniform way, so North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) developed its own standard for reporting information regarding CBRN accidents – ATP45 standard. This thesis work is based on a software development case-study, it involved the research of the ATP45 standard, improvement of the existing in the commissioning company software and addition of further enhanced features. In theoretical part, the main information about ATP45 standard was summarized. The kinds of threats and data passed in different types of messages were described in more detail. Also, information about basic software requirements and technologies used in ATP 45 software was described and main notions were clarified. In the practical part of the thesis a real-word case of ATP-45 software implementation developed by Observis Oy was presented. The conversion to more appropriate Spring Boot implementation was described and also addition of extra features to the existing software was explained in detail. The last part of the thesis presents the summary of the results of the work and reflection on which further improvements can be done to the software
