Illegal
immigration and terrorist activities draw attention on border security. One of
the current systems used for reconnaissance and surveillance on border security
is Aerostat. Due to high investment cost, a considerable planning period is
required before implementation of these systems. In this study; considering project
budget, camera sensor capabilities, geographical analysis data and
appropriateness parameters of candidate locations, three scenarios are
developed for the site selection problem of Aerostats on southern Turkey. Goal
Programming approach including Set Covering Algorithm and fuzzy-TOPSIS is
applied and the results are tested with Viewshed Analysis. The test results
provide important recommendations for countries planning to use these systems.
