Abstract
The invention provides adaptive modules which combine with an aided target ecognizer ATR to program or reprogram its circuitry while detecting existing targets. The signatures thus derived are more likely to produce accurate target classifications than the mathematically derived algorithms currently used. To insure accuracy during this programming a human observer is included in the network loops provided by the modules and provided with overriding decision capability.
