Assessment System for Aircraft Noise (ASAN): Development of Alpha-Test Prototype System Software

Abstract

This document describes the Alpha-Test version of the Assessment System for Aircraft Noise (ASAN). ASAN was developed for the United States Air Force's Noise and Sonic Boom Impact Technology Advanced Development Program Office (NSBIT ADPO). The Purpose of ASAN is to provide Air Force route and environmental planners with a set tools for preparing the noise portion of environmental impact statements (EIS), environmental assessments (EA), and findings of no significant impact (FONSI). ASAN provides a consistent set of procedures and models which represent the current state-of-the-art in noise engineering practice. This report contains a brief overview of the technical issues of developing the ASAN system. A User Manual which guides the environmental planner in the use of ASAN is available as a separate volume. Keywords: Hardware considerations; Software considerations; Military training route model; Military operating area model; Human effects models; Structural damage model; Incorporation of future models.
