Search patterns

Victor · 2008-02-05 19:03:26

If looking for something, e.g. a small boat at sea at night and you know its last known position, what is the most efficient search pattern? I realise that one would use different search patterns whether one is using one platform (helicopter, boat, etc.) or several.
