Abstract

A route predicting apparatus for monitoring a flying target and predicting a route thereof. Even if the target is hidden by mountains or other obstacles thus preventing observation for a certain time, a reliable route prediction is carried out by utilizing the fact that a route of the target is restricted by geographical features. The apparatus comprises an observation unit for observing a target and outputting an observed value thereof, a terrain information unit for outputting characteristic parameters of stored terrain information, a prediction unit coupled to receive the observed value and the characteristic parameters of terrain information for performing a fuzzy inference to output a predicted observed value of the target, and a learning adjustment unit coupled to receive an error signal between a predicted observed value at the current time predicted a unit time before and a real observed value at the current time for adjusting the prediction unit by using a neural network.
