Abstract. Minimizing the risk of detection in a hostile environment is
a fundamental requirement of all military operations. Often the trajectory
of a vehicle is dependent on other factors such as
maximum travel time, fuel usage, and the like, which provide
constraints on determining the optimal path of the vehicle. The
risk to the vehicle is from detection and subsequent action
by enemy forces. Often this detection is from radar. Here
we investigate the single vehicle path planning problem to minimize
radar exposure. We formulate the problem in a continuous way
and present numerical results for a single threat radar. We
also show how our approach can be extended to include
a second threat radar. By extending our approach we believe
that a feasible technique to determine the optimal path in
a threat environment consisting of a network of multiple threat
radars can be obtained, perhaps even undertaken by on-board systems.
