Computation of routes for bounding overwatch operations

摘要: A processor-based system performs overwatch location and routing determinations for plural independent entities acting as a team. The accepts data representing “map” uses that portion including the objective or direction, together with about known features of environment capabilities team entities. An initial coarse route is inputted. processed by designation one members overwatcher, other bounder. procedure includes steps determination an area to which bounding permitted, pruning out those grid cells in cannot be seen from first overview location. For remaining pruned set, cost function determined each takes into account minimum reach cell under consideration current entity location, relates how many can consideration. When all relevant have been evaluated, having value deemed next therefore terminus operation.
