gamma-metrics, in southern CA, was the name i was searching for. Think it was founded in the 80s.
And from what I remember talking with the applications guys, the x-ray florescense stuff they were working on in the mid 90s in TX (company had been around since 80, i think) uses the same principals for determining and identifying events as what you describe.
back to the literature thread tho, I suppose that most people here are fans of millitary history as well as millitary SF. has anyone looked much into the winter war of 39-40? Man, it reads like a fairy tale. I am a big SF fan, but who needs fiction when we have events like that!
