A game theory analysis of proposed strategies of an aerial search for a mobile surface target.

This thesis investigates the problem of aerial search for a mobile surface target. The initial position of the target is known, and a certain amount of time elapses before the search begins. The target has a variety of choices as to speed and direction, and the search aircraft has a choice of se...
