Due to the possibility of transcription errors, the official printed CBD announcement takes precedence over this transcription in any disagreement between the two. The transcription is provided for your convenience only. This implies robust extended-duration tracking approaches, perhaps using signature aided tracking techniques to disambiguate movers and maintain combat identification. This encompasses the algorithms and logic required to advance a target through the kill chain seamlessly, without creating an unrealistic operator workload. Precision engagement implies netted sensors and weapons to provide selectivity in engagement and end-game accuracy.
Netted sensors are also critical for high confidence, long duration target tracking.
Improving end-game accuracy will maximize lethality and minimize collateral damage. Operation at long range with standoff weapons is required for system survivability. Data from field and other testing should, therefore, also support tracking and targeting algorithm development and sensor mode development. This implies the use of test bed sensors, weapons, communication, and low cost seekers representative of systems that are expected to be in the later stages of development by 2007. These experiments and demonstrations will providea series of increasingly challenging scenarios for moving target engagement.
