Abstract
A system for tracking multiple projectiles includes a first radar device aimed so that a field of view of the first radar device covers at least a portion of a target area into which projectiles are to be launched from a plurality of launch locations and a processor receiving data from the radar and identifying from the data tracks of a plurality of projectiles. The processor determines for each projectile track identified a specific one of the launch locations from which the projectile was launched and provides to the launch location associated with each projectile data corresponding to a trajectory of the projectile.

A system for tracking multiple projectiles, comprising:
- a first radar device covering at least a first portion of a target volume into which projectiles are to be launched from a launch location adjacent to the target volume, the launch location including a plurality of launch locations;
- and
- a processor receiving data from the first radar and identifying projectiles moving through the first portion of the target volume, the processor calculating position data for each identified projectile based on the data from the first radar and identifying for each projectile a launch area within the launch location from which the corresponding projectile was launched.
A method for tracking multiple projectiles, comprising:
- receiving data from a first radar device aimed so that the first radar device covers at least a first portion of a target volume into which projectiles are to be launched from a predetermined launch location adjacent to the target volume, the predetermined launch location having a plurality of individual launch areas;
- receiving data from a second radar device aimed so that the second radar device covers at least a second portion of the target volume partially overlapping with the first portion of the target volume;
- determining, based on the data from the first and second radars, a track for each of a plurality of projectiles moving through the first and second portions of the target volume;
- and
- projecting each track back in time to identify one of the individual launch areas as the launch area from which the corresponding projectile was launched.
