 | MR^NMAP (MOA Range NOISEMAP) is a general-purpose, PC-based computer program that calculates the noise levels under Military Operating Areas (MOAs), Military Training Routes (MTRs), and Ranges. The calculations in MR^NMAP are based on a United States Air Force (USAF) dataset of measured aircraft noise levels called NOISEFILE. The program calculates standard noise metrics of Ldnmr, Ldn, CNEL, Leq, SEL, and Lmax. The noise levels are output as contours or in ... |

|
| MRNMAP is the core module of the MOA-Range NOISEMAP (MR_NMAP) program for computing noise military airspace. It is a collection of "building block" noise models that model the noise characteristics for the way planes fly in military airspace. There are two general representations: broadly distributed operations as generally occur in MOAs and Ranges, and distributed parallel tracks as occur on MIRS and in target areas. The calculations in MR_NMAP are ... |

|
| The Elgin MOA is a subsection of the Nellis Range Complex located in southern Nevada. This airspace is regularly used for air combat maneuver (ACM) training which involves occasional supersonic flight. A sonic boom measurement program was conducted during the period from 25 March through 30 September 1992. The primary purpose of the measurement program was to obtain data suitable for the assessment of the sonic boom noise environment within ... |

|
| The Nellis AFB Range covers over 13,000 square miles of southern Nevada. Numerous US Air Force aircraft operate within this range on a regular basis, participating in various forms of combat-readiness training. It is the purpose of this report to quantify the noise levels associated with subsonic operations and to evaluate the resulting environmental consequences. Nellis Range noise level predictions were accomplished using current US Air Force ROUTEMAP and NOISEMAP ... |

|
| A study was conducted to measure and document the C-weighted day- night level (CDNL) of sonic booms due to air combat maneuver (ACM) training. Measurements took place in the Lava/Mesa airspace at the White Sands Missile Range, NM, where the primary ACM activity is F-15s from Holloman AFB. Thirty- five automatic sonic boom monitors (a combination of USAF BEAR and SBM-1 units) were deployed for a period of six months. ... |

|
 | Low altitude, high speed training operations are routinely conducted along specially designated Military Training Routes (MTRs). The location of these routes is continually changed for a variety of reasons. Each new route requires an environmental assessment to determine the community noise impact. This report describes computer program ROUTEMAP which calculates the noise level on the ground along an MTR corridor. Program ROUTEMAP is a menu-driven program that runs on any ... |
