Disclosed herein is an automated method for real-time pairing of weapon systems with targets. Databases are populated with inputs which include available weapon systems, targets, and threats. These inputs are entered into a table and the inputs in the table are pre-processed to create formatted data. An optimization engine is executed which analyses the model formulation, selects an algorithm then runs the algorithm. The optimization engine solution is processed into recommended weapon system-target pairings. These recommended weapon system-target pairings are received from the engine then displayed on a user interface. The populating, entering, pre-processing, running, receiving, and displaying are performed in real-time.

Sensor(s) may be used to detect threat data. A processing system and/or a method may be used to fuse the detected threat data over time. Threat data may comprise information on a munition, missile, rocket, or nuclear/biological/chemical (NBC) projectile or delivery system. Detected threat data may be processed to create a target track-lethality list comprising the locations of any target(s) and a ranking of their lethality in comparison to decoys or chaff. The target track-lethality list may be used to create a target engagement-track list that matches available threat elimination resources (e.g. interceptors) to targets with a weapon-to-target assignment module.

Hidden surface determination, also known as hidden surface removal (HSR), occlusion culling (OC) or visible surface determination (VSD), can be achieved by identifying obstructions from multiple sensor measurements and incorporating relative position with depth between sensors to identify occlusion structures. Weapons ranges, and orientations are sensed, calculated, shared, and can be displayed in real time. Data confidence levels can be highlighted from time, and frequency of data. The real time data can be displayed stereographically for and highlighted on a display.
118 GUIDANCE METHOD AND APPARATUS US13254738 2011-08-23 US20130153707A1 2013-06-20 Martin Simon Gate
A method of guiding a pursuer to a target is provided, and is of particular use when the possible target location is described by non-Gaussian statistics. Importantly, the method takes into account the fact that different potential target tracks in the future have significantly different times to go. That can give rise to emergent behaviour, in which the guidance method covers several possible outcomes at the same time in an optimal way. An example embodiment of the method combines Particle Filter ideas with Swarm Optimization techniques to form a method for generating guidance commands for systems with non-Gaussian statistics. That example method is then applied to a dynamic mission planning example, to guide an airborne pursuer to aground target travelling on a network of roads where the pursuer has no-go areas, to avoid collateral damage.
