PCBoom is a suite of sonic boom propagation programs that applies full three-dimensional ray tracing based on geometrical acoustics. It predicts sonic boom ground waveforms (signatures) and footprints from supersonic flight vehicles performing arbitrary maneuvers using a variety of built-in or user supplied near-field vehicle source definitions. It also computes loudness metrics, ground signature locations, and sonic boom propagation times. The nomenclature "PC" in PCBoom denotes that the programs were historically targeted to run on a Personal Computer.
