    Abstract: This new concept called DaisyTrack is a registration unit complementary to the helicopter triggering system DaisyBell. It enables the person in charge of the avalanche control plan, which is called the PIDA in France, to have complete traceability of the accomplished mission. It was developed in order to simplify and optimize the carrying out of the procedure. DaisyTrack can stock all the events of a triggering mission in a completely autonomous way. This enables the controller of the avalanche plan to obtain at a later date, all the registrations required to ensure total traceability of the acts carried out. This registration unit is equipped with sufficient memory to stock data over one or more exploitation missions (capacity of 2000 shots). Specific software (DaisyTrack Manager) exploits all of the given data memorized and produces the different registrations required. It also serves as proof of the different actions carried out during the missions. DaisyTrack gathers all the information in a specific data base and can easily re-establish at any given moment, the parameters and the process of each mission. This includes the results obtained that were recorded in real time by the operator, as well as its course, by using a representing table or graph on a map of the area (Google Earth).
