| abstract = 
We study the problem of using a small number 
of mobile sensors to monitor various threats in a geographical 
area. Using some recent results on stochastic sensor scheduling, 
we propose a stochastic sensor movement strategy. We present 
simple conditions under which it is not possible to maintain a 
bounded estimate error covariance for all the threats. We also 
study a simple sub-optimal algorithm to generate stochastic 
trajectories. Simulations are presented to illustrate the results.
