Summary	The objective of this research project is to develop a unified tactical decision aid for (i) operating mobile sensors during search and surveillance missions; and (ii) fusing information from the sensors and other sources and obtaining meaningful, updated, and accurate situational awareness pictures. The decision aid will consist of an optimization model for operating sensors and platforms; standard and specialized algorithms for efficiently solving the model; and Bayesian probability models for fusing information, updating situational awareness, and revising input data for the optimization model.
