Stealthy Optimal Range-Sensor Placement for Target Localization

Abstract

We study a stealthy range-sensor placement problem where a set of range sensors are to be placed with respect to targets to effectively localize them while maintaining a degree of stealthiness from the targets. This is an open and challenging problem since two competing objectives must be balanced: (a) optimally placing the sensors to maximize their ability to localize the targets and (b) minimizing the information the targets gather regarding the sensors. We provide analytical solutions in 2D for the case of any number of sensors that localize two targets.
