Journal ArticleDOI
Simulated annealing for resource-constrained scheduling
TL;DR: Computational results indicate that the procedures grow in power as they evolve, with the simulated annealing procedure providing the best results, and that it is a viable approach for a very difficult scheduling problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal and Feedback Path Planning for Cooperative Attack
TL;DR: The reduction in target-location uncertainty associated with trajectories developed by an alternative suboptimal feedback-guidance law could enable the attack of targets with greater precision using smaller, cheaper munitions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of dynamic sensor coverage problem using Kalman filters for estimation
TL;DR: A theoretical framework for the dynamic sensor coverage problem for the case with multiple discrete time linear stochastic systems placed at spacially separate locations is introduced and conditions under which a single sensor fails or succeeds to solve the dynamic coverage problem are given.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Formulation and Solution of the Target Visitation Problem
Don A. Grundel,David E. Jeffcoat +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the target visitation problem for a single UAV, which is related to both the Traveling Salesman Problem and the Linear Ordering Problem, with an objective function that combines elements of both problems.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
On Sensor Coverage by Mobile Sensors
TL;DR: This work studies the problem of using a small number of mobile sensors to monitor various threats in a geographical area and proposes a stochastic sensor movement strategy under conditions under which it is not possible to maintain a bounded estimate error covariance for all the threats.
