Methods and apparatus for tracking with occlusions

At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising machine-readable instructions to cause at least one processor circuit to at least:

• determine that a target has been occluded as an image sensor of an aircraft is directed toward the target via an aiming device to track the target;
• determine, in response to the target being occluded, orientations of the image sensor during tracking of the target;
• and
• determine an estimated position of the target based on flight sensor information of the aircraft and the orientations for directing the aiming device during the occlusion of the target.

A method comprising:

• determining, by at least one processor circuit programmed by at least one instruction that a target has been occluded as an image sensor of an aircraft is directed toward the target via an aiming device to track the target;
• in response to the target being occluded, determining, by one or more of the at least one processor circuit, orientations of the image sensor during tracking of the target;
• and
• determining, by one or more of the at least one processor circuit, an estimated position of the target based on flight sensor information of the aircraft and the orientations for directing the aiming device during the occlusion of the target.
