A system and method for dynamic probabilistic tracking of search targets within a search area generates a displayable occupancy map of the search area. The occupancy map is divided into individual map cells and seeded with a list of unlocated targets (e.g., targets of one or more types known or thought to be within the search area but which have not been precisely located therewithin). Each map cell of the occupancy map reflects the confidence or likelihood that an unlocated target will be detected within that cell. As a search mission proceeds, sensor datasets are received from the searching assets and correlated to identify unlocated targets. As unlocated targets are detected, located with sufficient accuracy, and removed from the list, the confidence levels of other map cells are reflected to indicate changes in the probability that any remaining unlocated targets will be detected therein.
