The Floating
Sensors option was an alternative explored to cover the entire 100 by 200
nautical mile box. Multiple Floating
Sensor assets would be delivered by Strategic Air. (CLICK) Our first
level of analysis determined that over 17,000 sensors would be needed over
the established 30-day period. These floating sensors were subject to effects
of: Tide, Current and Wind. Additionally, it was determined that over 1,800
B-52 sorties or 3,000 B-2 sorties would be required to continually re-seed
the AOR because of its large size and degradation of the floating
sensors. Therefore (CLICK) this
alternative was not explored further. (CLICK)
