Summary	The primary objective of the concept being set forth in this white paper is to build and test a real time SNR estimation system that supports persistent surveillance system consisting of mobile sensors operating in a shelf-break environment. We envision the output of the system will be 3D fields of SNR estimates that can be used, as a cost function in an optimizing or genetic algorithm to provide guidance to mission planners and operators in making adaptive search and sampling decisions and fed to a surveillance system to optimize system performance.
