Solution Summary

In this solution, we determine the minimum number of glimpses required by a sensor with a 10% detection probability per glimpse in order to achieve a cumulative detection probability (CDP) of 99%.

Solution Preview

The probability of non-detection per glimpse is 0.9, so the probability of non-detection after k independent glimpses is ...
