Analytical resolution of search theory problems, as formalized by B.O. Koopman, may be applied with some model extension to various resource management and data fusion issues. Such method is based on a probabilistic prior about the target. Even so, this approximation forbids any reactive behavior of the target. As a preliminary step towards reactive target study stands the problem of resource placement under a minimax game context. Nakai gave an elegant solution of the game placement of resources for the detection of a stationary target. In this paper, our interest focuses however on the minimax detection of a moving target. A new method is developed and confronted to Nakai’s work.
