Protection of the network structure by autonomous vehicles

Two strategies of protection of network group of bodies from penetration of foreign object are analysed. The first strategy is based on the individual protection of each body, the second involves the use of autonomous vehicles for integrated network protection. It is shown that in the second case the ratio of the minimum number of vehicles required for detection with probability one foreign object to the number of vehicles used in the first strategy is inversely proportional to the square root of the number of elements of the network structure.
