...J.D. Lessan; Geoff Pond Purpose We study the problem of finding optimal locations for a suite of defense assets in order to protect high-value tactical and strategic infrastructure across a vast geographical area. To this end, we present a multi-type with non-overlapping coverage requirement...

... to derive a globally optimal strategy that maximizes the expected probability of detection. Findings The author found a set of look angles that globally maximize the probability of detection for a general class of mirror symmetric targets. Research limitations/implications The optimal strategies...
