ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for determining sensor performance of a border element of homogeneous terrain, weather and vegetation properties. The border element includes a number of areas of interest, as well as a plurality of sensors. The method includes determining coordinates of the border element and areas, and determining performance data for each sensor. The coordinates and performance data is used as input parameters to a Line-Of-Sight tool for determining a coverage factor of each sensor. The coverage factor is modified for time per time unit in which function of each sensor is impaired by conditions such as bad weather, light or mobility. Then, the modified coverage factors for each sensor are summed to obtain a total sensor performance for the border element.
