Control system for tracking and targeting multiple autonomous objects
First Claim
1. A system for dynamically tracking and targeting at least one moving target, comprising:
- a position location receiver located proximate said target, wherein said position location receiver receives present location information of said target;
a communicating apparatus coupled to said position location receiver;
at least one base station communicating with said target, wherein said communicating apparatus transmits said present location information to said base station, and wherein said base station calculates a projection location information; and
at least one autonomous client station coupled to said base station, wherein said client station acts upon said projection location information.

Abstract
A control system for dynamically tracking and targeting multiple targets wherein the targets have position sensors and communicate to with central location that uses the information to process projected locations of moving targets. The system uses several means to smooth the track and to deal with missing or degraded data, wherein the data may be degraded in either time or location. The present system can use a combination of Kalman filtering algorithms, multiple layers of smoothing, decoupled recording of predicated positions and use of those predications along with optimization of speed of apparent target motion to achieve a degree of time on target.
