Abstract
A method is provided for locating targets dispersed within a target field, whereby a plurality of like robotic scouts are provided for transmitting and receiving target detection signals, and for following a received signal's intensity gradient. The target field is foraged by the scouts according to a navigation scheme which entails stochastically navigating the terrain prior to receipt of a target detection signal, and deterministically navigating the terrain following receipt of the target detection signal, whereby an intensity gradient is followed until the selected target is located. Once located, a scout remains at the selected target until either a selected time duration elapses or a requisite number of other scouts arrive. A method is also provided for emulating detection and diffusion of mines within a mine field, with the same being simulated on a computer system's display device.
