A method and apparatus for controlling a set of sensor platforms (308). The apparatus comprises a map manager (310) and a controller (312). The map manager (310) creates a visibility map (322) for an area of interest (302) for a set of sensor platforms (308). The map manager (310) further updates the visibility map (322) over time while the set of sensor platforms (308) monitors the area of interest (302). The controller (312) controls a route (342) of each of the set of sensor platforms (308) using the visibility map (322).
