ABSTRACT:
Apparatus (10) for simultaneously engaging a multiplicity of selected targets (V1-V7) to launch one or more missiles (T) at each target and acquire, track, and guide each missile to its respective target. A field of view (FOV) is scanned to detect one or more targets therewithin. A target selection system (34) is used to designate various of the targets at which to launch missiles. A plurality of missiles are then launched, and directed to each selected target. A plurality of sensors (58) detect radiation from each missile as it travels toward its respective target. An acquisition and tracking system (74) is used to track each missile and its target. The system includes a processor (80) for determining the position of each missile relative to its respective target, and a control module (82) responsive to the processor for generating and transmitting guidance signals to each missile to guide it to its target.
