Applicants' ATR system is weather-agile because it is comprised of a
primary target sensing means that is capable of surveilling the target scene in
foul or fair weather, and a secondary target sensing means that is also capable
of sensing targets in various weather. The primary and secondary sensing means
communicate through a control center so that ultimately, among several weapons
available, the most strategically located and equipped weapon is activated for
the destruction of a selected target, given the weather. The control center accomplishes
the communication by receiving the sensed target signature from the primary sensing
means, processing the signature using database already resident in the center and
transmitting the processed target signature to the weapon possessing the greatest
potential for successfully destroying the target.
