Modelling sand ripples in mine countermeasure simulations by means of stochastic optimal control
<|reference_start|>Modelling sand ripples in mine countermeasure simulations by means of stochastic optimal control: Modelling and simulating mine countermeasures (MCM) search missions performed by autonomous vehicles equipped with a sensor capable of detecting mines at sea is a challenging endeavour. In this work, we present a novel way to model and account for sand ripples present on the bottom of the ocean while calculating trajectories for the autonomous vehicles by means of a stochastic optimal control framework. It is known from the scientific literature that these ripples impact the sea mine detection capabilities of the autonomous vehicles.<|reference_end|>
