ABSTRACT:
A knowledge based threat evaluation and weapon assignment (TEWA) system and method. Upon identification of a hostile class track, if the track is outside national boundaries or defensive zones, a threat index is calculated to evaluate the threat. The index considers track speed, heading, altitude, and any known amplifying information such as flight size, airframe type, weapons load or missile type. If a threat enters a defensive zone, it becomes a target. Automatically a trial intercept calculation (TIC) will be calculated against the target. The TIC will utilize resources allocated to the zone; and with the aid of a zone target priority knowledge database and a target/weapon pairing database, the TIC will select the best available weapon to neutralize the target. The result of the TIC will be a weapon recommendation to the weapon's controller.
