1. A planning system for deploying a deployable asset in a geographic space, comprising:
- a scoring system having a processor configured to;
calculate a score for each of a plurality of possible deployment locations in the geographic space for the deployable asset, wherein the score corresponds to a projected effectiveness of the deployable asset at the deployment location; and
an optimization system responsive to the scoring system and having a processor configured to;
compare the score from the scoring system for each of the deployment locations to a threshold, wherein the threshold corresponds to a selected level of projected effectiveness; and
discard the possible deployment locations corresponding to scores that fail to meet the threshold; and
select a deployment location for the deployable asset from the remaining possible deployment locations.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for controlling deployment of systems according to various aspects of the present invention operate in conjunction with at least one deployable asset, a scoring system, and an optimization system. The scoring and optimization systems provide an optimized solution to mission planning, asset positioning, and control of multiple entities within a geographic region. The system combines a scoring method with an optimization method to quickly select a globally optimal solution from a larger set of potential solutions.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a computer wherein the instructions cause the computer to execute a method for mission planning and optimization for a first deployable asset comprising:
-
calculating a score with a processor for each of a plurality of possible deployment locations for the deployable asset, wherein the score corresponds to a projected effectiveness of the deployable asset at the deployment location; comparing the score for each of the deployment locations to a threshold, wherein the threshold corresponds to a selected level of projected effectiveness; discarding the possible deployment locations corresponding to scores that fail to meet the threshold; and selecting a deployment locations for the deployable asset according to the score for the selected deployment location. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
