In December 2000 the Maritime Warfare Centre decided to give Debrief an Open Source status, opening the application and its source code into the public domain. Debrief has been made Open Source to facilitate its wider use, encouraging adoption of standard file formats, presentation and practices between analysis agencies.
Debrief provides the following features:
2-Dimensional (top-down) view of vessel tracks
