Claim 10:
11. A method for providing target custody, comprising the steps of:
tasking a plurality of satellites with obtaining imagery data based on a projected path of a target of interest;
building a plurality of satellite footprints using a subset of the imagery data;
identifying sections of the projected path where one or more of the satellite footprints intersect the projected path of the target of interest;
for each identified section, calculating a cover area;
calculating an amount of the projected path that the satellite footprints cover; and
calculating an average ground sample distance based on a subset of the imagery data; and
using a machine learning algorithm configured to compute a confidence score for each of the identified sections based on input data comprising at least the plurality of satellite footprints, the identified sections, the calculated cover area for each section, the amount of the projected path that the satellite footprints cover, and the average ground sample distance.
