Localization of Surface or Near-Surface Drifting Mines for Unmanned Systems in the Persian Gulf

This thesis investigates the combined use of ocean models, such as idealized surface current flows, and search models, including expanding area and discrete myopic search methods, to improve the probability of detecting a near-surface, drifting object over time. Enhanced search effectiveness is fac...
