In Carnegie Mellon University's CyberScout project, we are developing a network of mobile and stationary sentries capable of autonomous reconnaissance and surveillance. In this paper, we describe the cooperative perception algorithms and mission planning necessary to achieve this task, including sensor-to-sensor target handoff methods and an efficient decentralized path-planning algorithm. These methods are applied to a typical law enforcement application, a building stakeout scenario.
