Abstrakt: Sonobuoy fields, consisting of many distributed emitter and receiver sonar sensors on buoys, are used to seek and track underwater targets in a defined search area. The authors seek a scheduling protocol, selecting both the emitter and its waveform in each time interval that optimises tracking performance. This study describes a stationary scheduling algorithm for sonobuoy fields called the continuous probability states algorithm. The algorithm replaces a full partially observed Markov decision process by a computationally feasible Markov decision process by focusing on probability of target detection. This approach is shown to result in high-quality tracks for multiple targets in a realistic simulation of a sonobuoy field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
