Abstract

This paper deals with the model of observation posts deployment in the area of operations. The goal of the model is to find optimal positions for a number of observation posts in order to observe as large area of interest as possible provided that the tactical requirements and conditions for the task at hand are kept. The first part of the paper presents the mathematical formulation of the model. Then, a stochastic algorithm based on the simulated annealing principle is proposed for the problem solution. Next part shows the application of the model which is implemented in the Tactical Decision Support System, the purpose of which is to aid commanders on the tactical level in their decision-making process. The last part shows results from experiments conducted on a set of benchmark problems which are based on the typical military scenarios.
