Abstract: Techniques are provided for self-configuration of a sensor array. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes deploying a number of mobile sensor elements from a base unit to a region of interest. The method also includes transmitting an initial sensor configuration plan from the base unit to the sensor elements. The mobile sensor elements navigate to a calculated location based on the initial sensor configuration plan. Sensor data is collected by each of the elements and transmitted back to the base unit for data integration. The method further includes performing, by the base unit, a response analysis using the integrated sensor data and updating the initial sensor configuration plan based on a metric associated with the response analysis. The method further includes iterating these operations to employ the updated sensor configuration plan. Additional iterations are performed until the metric reaches a selected threshold value.
