Abstract
Situation aware route planning plays a key role in modern urban warfare. While planning routes to military convoys decision support systems have to take into account multiple environmental conditions to find safe routes and minimize the risk of convoy being attacked during mission. Considering that nowadays battles are fought in asymmetric conditions where red forces almost always have an upper hand then all systems aiding soldiers must try to take into account as much of those conditions as possible. This paper proposes a way how snipers locations and their line-of-sight can be added to dynamic threat assessment which in turn is an input for route planning. Risk minimization is done by using well known A* route planning algorithm where threat is presented as one of graph edge parameters that is in added to other parameters describing the surrounding environment.
