the proposed system. Also, simulated experiments were car-
ried out in Smídl and Hofman (2013) to model the tracking of
a plume of air contaminated by a nuclear leak based on
UAVs
;
the proposed model also considers weather forecasting for the
purpose of replacing stationary sensor networks.
Post-disaster surveillance with measurements after radio-
active leaks is possible for monitoring the disaster and its
