The Satellite Surveillance Avoidance Optimization Aid

Abstract

Adversary surveillance has long been a concern of naval commanders at sea. Not only can it identify a naval task force as a possible military target, but it may also lead to an unwanted confrontation with possibly far greater military and political consequences. Ships at sea are potentially subject to many kinds of surveillance. Traditionally, the important components of a surveillance system have been aircraft, shipping, submarines, land-based radar, and communications sensors. In recent years, however, surveillance systems have added land-based acoustic sensors and earth-orbiting satellites with varied sensing capabilities.
