Abstract
A method of looking at sensor fusion that combines sensor outputs in a simple way to derive an upper bound of the detection probability is presented. The concept is useful in strategic route planning and for assessing tradeoffs between various possible sensor upgrades. It can be used to guide expenditures so that funds applied are applied in a well-balanced manner. A toy problem is analyzed to demonstrate the concept
