Abstract

To minimise the probability of detection of a military network the power received at a distant point should be reduced. This can be achieved in various ways. Topology control has been shown to be able to reduce transmission power in these networks, lowering the network's RF power footprint and so the probability of detection. This paper looks at how
positioning autonomous vehicles can also be used to further reduce the received power at a adversary position and hence the probability of detection. An algorithm for this positioning is described and results presented.
