1. A system for tracking multiple projectiles, comprising:
- a first radar device aimed so that a first field of view of the first radar device covers at least a portion of a target volume into which projectiles are to be launched from a plurality of launch locations;
a second radar device aimed so that a second field of view of the second radar device covers at least a portion of the target volume including a portion of the target volume outside the first field of view as well as an overlap portion of the target volume also included in the first field of view; and
a processor receiving data from the first and second radar devices and identifying from data from the first and second radar devices tracks of a plurality of projectiles, the processor determining for each projectile track identified a launch location from which the projectile was launched and providing to a device associated with the launch location data corresponding to a trajectory of the projectile.

Abstract
A system for tracking multiple projectiles includes a first radar device aimed so that a field of view of the first radar device covers at least a portion of a target area into which projectiles are to be launched from a plurality of launch locations and a processor receiving data from the radar and identifying from the data tracks of a plurality of projectiles. The processor determines for each projectile track identified a specific one of the launch locations from which the projectile was launched and provides to the launch location associated with each projectile data corresponding to a trajectory of the projectile.

21. A system for tracking multiple projectiles, comprising:
-
a first radar device aimed so that a first field of view of the first radar device covers at least a portion of a target volume into which projectiles are to be launched from a plurality of launch locations; and a processor receiving data from the first radar and identifying from data from the first radar tracks of a plurality of projectiles, the processor projecting each track back in time until the projection of each track reaches one of a plurality of known launch locations to identify a launch location associated with each projectile and providing to a device associated with a first one of the launch locations data corresponding to a trajectory of a projectile launched from the first launch location; a second radar device aimed so that a second field of view of the second radar device covers at least a portion of the target volume including a portion of the target volume outside the first field of view as well as an overlap portion of the target volume also included in the first field of view, the processor combining data from the second radar to the data from the first radar to track each of the projectiles through the first and second fields of view.
