document: Mission planning for regional surveillance The regional surveillance problem discussed involves formulating a flight route for an aircraft to scan a given geographical region . Aerial surveillance is conducted using a synthetic aperture radar device mounted on the aircraft to compose a complete , high-resolution image of the region . Two models for determining an optimised flight route are described , the first employing integer programming and the second , genetic algorithms . A comparison of the solution optimality in terms of the total distance travelled , and model efficiency of the two techniques in terms of their required CPU times , is made in order to identify the conditions under which it is appropriate to apply each model
