Function:

The uFldHazardSensor MOOS app simulates a sensor for detecting underwater objects. It is typically run in a shoreside community. Configured with a set objects (i.e., "threat laydown" if the objects of interest are mines) with a given x,y location and classification (hazard or benign). The sensor simulator receives a series of requests from a remote vehicle. When sensor determines that an object is within the sensor field of a requesting vehicle, it may or may not return a sensor detection report for the object, and perhaps also a proper classification. The odds of receiving a detection and proper classification depend on the sensor configuration and the user's preference for P_D/P_FA on the prevailing ROC curve.
