Problem statement Minefield detection during the war is challenging with many uncertainties as detection is still an evolving field. During the war, the commander must undertake a challenge to reach a destination by avoiding detection and avoiding minefields using an optimal path. The challenge is probabilistic and non-deterministic; complete knowledge is unavailable for the minefield position. This changes drastically when technology is used to find mines. As part of Make in India, a company has designed a low-budget Drone that uses customized acoustic algorithms to detect mine cases and special chemical sensors to detect vapor leaks from mines. However, the accuracy of the system is always at most 80%. The terrain to be traversed can consist of open terrains, which the enemy can monitor, and large shrubs, which can reduce the chances of detection. You are approached to build an AI-based decision support system that can take the inputs from the satellite (land terrain the probability of detection (PoD), drone ( probability of mine (PoM) ), and from the commander to understand the level of risk he is willing to undertake to reach the destination at the earliest. However, avoiding the minefield has the highest priority, as the commander cannot risk his team by acting rashly.

Prove that your technique is correct for the case given as a maze problem when the fitness f(n) of a given coordinate cell is given by:

Minimize(f(n))=[(1+PoD)(1+PoM)]
