Abstract

This paper presents a new probabilistic coordinated search technique for finding a randomly located target in n-disjoint known regions by using n-searchers. Each region contains one searcher. The searchers use advanced technology to communicate with each other. The purpose of this paper is to obtain the candidate utility function namely the expected value of the time for detecting the target. Additionally, to minimize this expected value given a restricted amount of time. We present a special case when the target has a multinomial distribution. This important for searching about a valuable target missing at sea or lost at wilderness area.
