		<description><![CDATA[Lawrence Stone defined the elements of the optimal search problem in his 1986 book, Theory of Optimal Search. This was paraphrased extremely well by Cooper, Frost and Robe in their 2003 report &#8211; Compatibility of Land SAR Procedures with Search Theory as quoted below; A probability density distribution on search object location and state (so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Probability of Detection refers to the likelihood of a search resource finding the object they are searching for if it was in the area they were searching. Thanks to Koester, Cooper, Frost and Robe&#8217;s 2004 study we can now safely say that it is impossible to subjectively estimate POD. No more should we hear supposed Search Managers [...]]]></description>
