Targeting management

A vehicle comprising:

• a guidance and control system;
• and
• a targeting system for managing targets of a vehicle, the system comprising:
• a boundary check module configured to receive boundary information from a flight safety system and to receive a modification of the selected termination boundary from the flight safety system, wherein the boundary information comprises a selected termination boundary of a plurality of termination boundaries confining navigation of the vehicle, wherein each of the plurality of termination boundaries is associated with a target of a plurality of targets of the vehicle;
• a target modification module configured to select the target associated with the selected termination boundary and to modify the target based on the modification of the selected termination boundary;
• and
• a target guidance module configured to provide the selected target to a guidance and control system of the vehicle,
• wherein the guidance and control system is configured to receive the selected target and select one of a plurality of mission objectives based on the selected target.

A method for managing targets of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• receiving boundary information from a flight safety system, the boundary information comprising a selected termination boundary of a plurality of termination boundaries confining navigation of the vehicle, wherein each of the plurality of termination boundaries is associated with a target of a plurality of targets of the vehicle;
• selecting the target associated with the selected termination boundary;
• providing the selected target to a guidance and control system of the vehicle;
• receiving a modification of the selected termination boundary from the flight safety system;
• and
• modifying the target based on the modification of the selected termination boundary.

A non-volatile machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processing system to perform a method for managing targets of a vehicle, the instructions comprising code for:

• receiving boundary information from a flight safety system, the boundary information comprising a selected termination boundary of a plurality of termination boundaries confining navigation of the vehicle, wherein each of the plurality of termination boundaries is associated with a target of a plurality of targets of the vehicle;
• selecting the target associated with the selected termination boundary;
• providing the selected target to a guidance and control system of the vehicle;
• receiving a modification of the selected termination boundary from the flight safety system;
• and
• modifying the target based on the modification of the selected termination boundary.
