Abstract
In this paper, the problem of creating a network to facilitate planning of an air reconnaissance mission is investigated. A comprehensive review of the literature shows that limited work has been done on the design of such networks in a hostile environment and that little research has accounted for terrain information. Ideally, in any routing problem a sample network is used as reference to determine paths to achieve a specified goal. The objective of this paper is to propose an automated generalized procedure developed within a Geographical Information System environment, to identify the nodes and links of a network based on the topographic information of the enemy terrain. This information is made available in the form of a Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN).
