Abstract
In this paper, we propose a nonlinear integer program to model a path planning for a single airborne search asset in a continuous space and time for a fixed time period, through a connected space. The intent is to maximize the detection of a cooperative target (e.g., search and rescue). The proposed model is based on the assumption of existing a priori information (e.g., result of information fusion) to establish a spatial distribution of possible locations. Solution of the nonlinear program provides a path as well as effort allocation to each location. We illustrate the results of the paper on an empirical example.
