Download or read book Review of Search Theory Advances and Applications to Search and Rescue Decision Support written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamental limitations inherent in manual search planning methods have severely limited the application of advances in several areas that could improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the U.S. Coast Guard's search and rescue mission. These areas include advances in search theory, environmental data products, knowledge of detection profiles for various sensors, and knowledge of leeway behavior. The U.S. Coast Guard's computerized search planning aids have not kept up with advances in these areas or with technology in general. This report reviews the history and recent advances of search theory and its application to a variety of search problems. It then reviews the history of the U.S. Coast Guard's search planning methods, showing where search theory was initially applied, albeit in a necessarily very limited way, and where later modifications departed from the theoretical basis of the original methodology. Several computerized search planning decision support tools are analyzed and compared, as are the differences between an analytic approach and a simulation approach. The results are summarized in a matrix. The U.S. Coast Guard needs a new search planning decision support tool for search and rescue and other missions. This tool should use the simulation approach due to its power and flexibility as compared to analytic techniques.

Download or read book Rescue Warriors written by David Helvarg and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2009-05-12 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Extraordinary Story Of The U.S. Coast Guard Since its founding more than two hundred years ago, the United States Coast Guard has rescued over a million people. On any given day, "Coasties" respond to 125 distress calls and save over a dozen lives. Yet despite having more than 50,000 active-duty and reserve members on every ocean and on our nation's coasts, great lakes, and rivers, most of us know very little about this often neglected but crucial branch of the military. In Rescue Warriors, award-winning journalist David Helvarg brings us into the daily lives of Coasties, filled with a salty maritime mix of altruism and adrenaline, as well as dozens of death-defying rescues at sea and on hurricane-ravaged shores. Helvarg spent two years with the men and women of the Coast Guard, from the halls of their academy in New London, Connecticut, to the frigid, storm-tossed waters of Alaska's Bering Sea, to the northern Persian Gulf, where they currently guard Iraqi oil terminals. The result is a masterpiece of adventure reporting---the definitive book on America's "forgotten heroes."

Download or read book Bloodstained Sea written by Michael G. Walling and published by Cutter Publishing. This book was released on 2009-04-10 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through eyewitness accounts based on hundreds of interviews with crew members; personal diaries, notes, and letters; and each cutter's logbooks and patrol reports Walling plunges you into the thick of the battle, re-creating some of the most desperate encounters, heroic rescues, and harrowing missions of the Second World War. Told largely in the voices of the men who lived it, this unforgettable tale is peppered with humorous and ironic anecdotes about life aboard ship during wartime. You'll meet the liberty-craving crew members who painted their entire ship in less than an hour; the ship's mascot who became canine-non-grata in Greenland; and the crew whose vessel was mistaken for the German battleship Bismarck and attacked by the Royal Navy. Complete with dramatic photographs of the Coast Guard in action, Bloodstained Sea brings this epic drama to vibrant and pulsing life.
