  • Publication number: 20060108468
    Abstract: A munition is presented which includes an integrity verification system that measures the integrity of the munition. When an integrity threshold is not met, engagement of the munition with a predetermined target is aborted. Also presented is a methodology for gating the engagement of the munition with the target. The methodology includes performing an integrity check of the munition after it is deployed. The method further includes aborting the engagement of the target when the integrity check of the munition fails.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20050188826
    Abstract: A method for providing integrity bounding of a weapon for use in weapon selection and targeting is presented. The method determines an integrity bound for the weapon, the integrity bound defining a zone around the target aim-point within which engagement must occur to meet a predetermined integrity level (i.e., a probability of engagement within an allowable engagement zone). A method of assigning weapons for engaging a target is also presented. The method includes determining an aim-point of a target and determining an alert limit for the aim-point, the alert limit comprising a zone that includes the aim-point and excludes any friendly sites. Weapon selection is then performed by selecting a weapon having an integrity bound less than or equal to the alert limit.
