Planning Acquisitions for an Ocean Global Surveillance Mission
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present the problem of planning the acquisitions performed by a constellation of radar satellites in order to fulfil as well as possible an ocean global surveillance mission. Then, we describe the local search algorithm, inspired by large neighborhood search techniques and knapsack heuristics, that has been specifically designed and implemented to solve daily planning problem instances. We conclude with experiment reports and directions for further improvements.

Planning for an Ocean Global Surveillance Mission
In this paper, we present the problem of planning the activities of a constellation of radar satellites in order to fulfil as well as possible an ocean global surveillance mission. Then, we describe the two greedy algorithms that have been designed and implemented so far to solve the huge daily problem instances: a chronological algorithm and a non chronological one. We report first experimenta...
متن کاملSoil moisture retrieval from space: the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission
Microwave radiometry at low frequencies (L-band: 1.4 GHz, 21 cm) is an established technique for estimating surface soil moisture and sea surface salinity with a suitable sensitivity. However, from space, large antennas (several meters) are required to achieve an adequate spatial resolution at L-band. So as to reduce the problem of putting into orbit a large filled antenna, the possibility of u...
متن کاملA multiple criteria decision support system for autonomous underwater vehicle mission planning and control
The growing use of autonomous air, surface, ground and underwater systems is continually demonstrating new military and commercial possibilities and applications. The state of the art in the planning and control of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) is largely precarious because AUVs provide infrequent feedback, operate autonomously for long periods of time and yet have little knowledge of t...
متن کاملThe RadarSAT-MAMM Automated Mission Planner
(MAMM) was conducted from September to November 2000 onboard RADARSAT. The mission plan consisted of more than 2400 synthetic aperture radar data acquisitions of Antarctica that achieved the scientific objectives and obeyed RADARSAT’s resource and operational constraints. Mission planning is a timeand knowledge-intensive effort. It required over a workyear to manually develop a comparable plan ...
متن کاملA Mission Planning System for the AUV "SLOCUM Glider" for the Newfoundland and Labrador Shelf
This paper presents a system for mission planning for an autonomous underwater vehicle in time-varying ocean currents. The mission planning system is designed for the AUV “SLOCUM Glider” to collect oceanographic data along the Newfoundland and Labrador Shelf. The data will be used in conjunction with a numerical ocean model currently under development by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans C...
