1. A Weather-Agile Automatic Target Recognition System for performing a rapid target update, said system adapting to changing climatic conditions for maximum performance efficiency, said system comprising:

  • a primary multi-spectral target sensing means capable of sensing a diversity of targets in diverse climatic conditions and generating target signature corresponding to said sensed target;

    a plurality of weapons;

    a plurality of secondary multi-spectral target sensing means, one of said secondary sensing means being mounted on one of said weapons and enabling said weapon to seek the sensed target in the extant climatic condition, said primary and secondary sensing means cooperating with each other to destroy selected targets; and

    a control center having therein pre-existing target, weaponry and environmental databases, said center positioned to communicate with said primary and secondary multi-spectral target sensing means, said center receiving said target signature from said primary sensing means and processing said signature using said preexisting databases prior to transmitting said processed signature to said secondary sensing means residing on a weapon selected as having the greatest potential to accomplish a successful destruction of the sensed target.
