ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a system and method of acquiring airborne objects utilizing a plurality of acquisition systems. The present invention is an active matrix acquisition system which includes several different types of acquisition systems, such as radar, infrared, and optical systems for scanning the sky in search of airborne objects. Data related to airborne objects are sent to a computing system of the active matrix system. The computing system compiles the data from the plurality of acquisition systems to determine a target resolution. The active matrix system may include a capability to select specific weighted inputs from each acquisition system. In addition, a confidence level may be assigned for determining a target resolution. The target resolution may be sent to a fire control system for use in destroying an airborne target.
