Abstract
Methods and apparatus for a multi-waveform wireless sensor network based on widely distributed sensor nodes operating in wireless local area networks and gateway connection to an operations center via wide area network protocol. The scaleable network consists of a tiered structure of sensor nodes within wireless local area networks using an ad hoc protocol to form the network and at least one gateway node within each LAN to provide a link to an operations center. The sensor network can be used to detect and track Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and high-yield Explosive events.
