Remote Sensors and Data Collection - Sensor Design

backforward

Your task below is to design the best sensor you can given a $175 million budget.
The black box below is a simulation of this sensor looking at fires in southwest
California. Each increment to the right of either the IFOV setting or Signal-to-Noise
setting will improve the sensor, but cost $25 million per increment.
What are the optimal settings given this budget? Do you maximize the IFOV or
the Signal-to-Noise ratio?
