Lane, S S; Squire, R K

During the second phase of the ISA ''Path Game'' played at Booz Allen on February 26, 1987, the Red Team ''played'' the concealment of a test of a large weapon, the seismic signals of which were supposed to be hidden by a simultaneous PNE row charge explosion. This postulated event has been synthesized by a computer simulation (using seismic data from NTS events) for the geometry proposed by the Red Team. The accompanying figures present the seismic signals at stations in a local seismic net installed for the monitoring of such a PNE event. Based on the visual evaluation of the arriving signals, the concealment of the large test is confirmed.
