... vehicles in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations. Although this paper addresses issues common to all mobile sensor networks, the applications presented are typically associated with autonomous vehicles. We focus specifically on three high-level areas: 1. mission definition languages...

... the relative importance of being assigned to that area. Based on these conditions, we design a cooperative control scheme for a multivehicle surveillance problem and show how the vehicles’ maneuvering and sensing abilities, and the spatial characteristics of the region under surveillance, affect the desired...
