Abstract
A fire control method against aerial targets flying toward a protection object when the position of the protection object is known includes measuring the position of the aerial target, estimating the position of the aerial target, estimating the velocity of the aerial target, predicting the future path of the aerial target from the estimated position of the aerial target and the estimated velocity of the aerial target, and deciding, on the basis of the predicted path, whether the aerial target i.) is incoming and thus a threat against the protection object, ii.) is passing by and thus not a threat to the protection object.
