Abstract: This paper introduces a new search planning methodology, nicknamed Pathfinder, that can optimize heterogeneous teams of mobile and stationary searchers. Unlike previously developed search methods, the new methodology applies an Agent-Based Model (ABM) to simulate target movement and behavior then uses nonlinear optimization methods to find optimal search plans for complex teams of searchers. We describe initial target location with a probability distribution influenced by evidence and environmental data. The ABM models target movement based on environmental and behavioral factors. Then, Pathfinder suggests a search plan that maximizes the probability of target detection and satisfies searcher requirements.
