DescriptionCooper, Frost and Robe 2003 review of land SAR procedures in light of Search Theory.

Abstract

After a preliminary review of the available land search planning literature at a special meeting of the National Search and Rescue Committee (NSARC) Research and Development (R&D) Working Group in March of 2001, it was determined that the results of scientific operations research as it relates to searching may not have been effectively applied by those working in land search. In partial response to this, the NSARC R&D Working Group tasked Potomac Management Group, Inc., with reviewing current published methods used for searching areas for lost, missing, or distressed persons on land who are in need of assistance. The purpose was to gain familiarity with current terminology and procedures, and to identify which procedures are compatible with the application of formal search theory to land search, which could become compatible with practical revisions, and which cannot be revised in a practical manner to achieve compatibility. The findings of this review are included in this report.
