Claim One:
1. A method of deconflicting a salvo of airborne weapons, comprising: passing respective target packages to a plurality of airborne weapons including imaging sensors on one or more launch platforms, each said target package including individual target cues of initial position, velocity and uncertainty estimates for a plurality of targets and a target ID for the weapon; launching a salvo of said airborne weapons at a range to target at which the weapon's imaging sensors are unable to acquire the targets; during flight of each airborne weapon, propagating a cued track file for each individual target cue in its target package to maintain current estimates of each target's position, velocity, and uncertainty volume; using the imaging sensor to image a search volume to acquire target like objects (TLOs) and propagate TLO track files; and performing a scene correlation of the cued track files to the TLO track files to acquire and track the target package; and at terminal, referencing each weapon's target ID to the tracked target package to commit each weapon to a particular target.
