SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COORDINATING RADAR DATA AND IMAGE DATA TO TRACK A FLIGHT OF A PROJECTILE
First Claim
1. A system for coordinating radar data and image data to track a flight of a projectile comprising:
- a radar;
an imager providing an image of an area into which a projectile is to be launched; and
a controller receiving the image and an identification of a target within the image, the controller identifying a target line connecting the target and a launch position of the projectile, the controller also receiving data from the radar relative to at least a portion of a trajectory of the projectile, the controller generating image based trajectory data by correlating the radar data and the image, the controller altering the image to include the image based trajectory data within the image and the target line within the image.

Abstract
A system for coordinating radar data and image data to track a flight of a projectile includes a radar, an imager, and a controller. The imager provides an image of an area into which a projectile is to be launched. The controller receives the image and an identification of a target within the image and identifies a target line connecting the target and a launch position of the projectile. The controller also receives data from the radar relative to at least a portion of a trajectory of the projectile, generates image based trajectory data by correlating the radar data and the image, and alters the image to include the image based trajectory data within the image and the target line within the image.

14. A method for coordinating radar data and image data to track a flight of a projectile comprising the steps of:
-
receiving by a controller an image and an identification of a target within the image as well as radar data relating to at least a portion of a trajectory of a projectile traveling through a field of view represented by the image; identifying by the controller a target line connecting the target and a launch position of the projectile; generating by the controller image based trajectory data by correlating the radar data and the image; and altering the image to include the image based trajectory data and the target line within the image. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
