Summary The objective of the proposed research project is to develop a tactical decision aid for search and surveillance missions in the presence of an attacker that acts intelligently and adaptively. The decision aid has a game-theoretic framework in which both the defender and attacker optimize adaptively their respective course of action as new information becomes available to either side. Information is incomplete, and therefore decisions must be made in the presence of uncertainty regarding the environment and the knowledge about the other sides moves.
