Abstract

In this paper, we present recent developments in ground surveillance and target tracking systems. Such systems posses various characteristics which include having the ability to strategically integrate information from several sources so as to make accurate decisions, optimizing the location of sensors to achieve complete coverage of the desired area and efficiently utilizing the resources of the system. Various techniques (including Evolutionary Algorithm) have been used to accomplish this. In addition, such systems posses intelligent agents, which are autonomous devices that have various sensors, and have the capability of processing and communicating information with other agents either directly or through a central processing system.

 Keywords: Autonomous Agents, Surveillance Systems, Evolutionary Algorithm, Distributed Network
