Abstract
A novel technique has been developed under a DNDO SBIR Program to improve the quality and availability of law enforcement and first responder training in the use of Preventative Radiological/Nuclear Detection (PRND) equipment. This training method is implemented in a software system designated as RAILS (Realistic and Adaptive Interactive Learning System), which allows trainees to practice finding, identifying, and determining the threat level of radioactive sources in a 3D video game environment.
