1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
determining, by a computing system, a targeted scenario and a mission to encounter the targeted scenario;
determining, by the computing system, a route to a location associated with the mission based at least in part on a likelihood of encountering the targeted scenario, wherein the likelihood of encountering the targeted scenario is based at least in part on a history of sensor data captured from the location and a frequency with which one or more scenarios similar to the targeted scenario were encountered at the location; and
determining, by the computing system, whether the targeted scenario was encountered based on an evaluation of captured sensor data associated with the mission at the location, wherein the captured sensor data is captured by one or more sensors.
