Abstract
A system and method for relating radar data to an image to track the flight of a path of a projectile includes a radar, an imager providing an image of an area into which a projectile is to be launched, a controller receiving the image and data from the radar relative to at least a portion of a trajectory of the projectile, the controller generating trajectory data by correlating the radar data and the image to determine the portion of the trajectory relative to at least one feature in the image, and a display displaying the trajectory data.
Claims26
A system for relating radar data to an image to track the flight of a projectile comprising:
- a radar providing radar data of at least a portion of a trajectory of a projectile;
- an imager providing an image of an area into which the projectile is to be launched, the image including a feature in the area;
- a controller receiving the image from the imager and the radar data from the radar, the controller generating trajectory data of the projectile relative to the feature by correlating the radar data with the image;
- and
- a display displaying the trajectory data.
A device for coordinating radar data and image data to determine the trajectory of a projectile, comprising:
- a controller receiving an image, from an imager, of an area into which a projectile is to be launched, the image including a feature in the area, and radar data from a radar relative of at least a portion of a trajectory of the projectile, the controller generating trajectory data of the projectile relative to the feature by correlating the radar data with the image.
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 of an area into which a projectile is to be launched, the image including a feature in the area, and radar data of at least a portion of a trajectory of a projectile traveling through a field of view represented by the image;
- generating by the controller trajectory data of the projectile relative to the feature by correlating the radar data with the image;
- and
- displaying the trajectory data.
