Abstract
A system and method for determining a 3-dimensional target position and velocity using 2-dimensional IR sensor angular measurements for objects travelling in a ballistic manner within an IR sensor's field of view (FOV). Resulting 3-dimensional states may be used to generate updated inputs for correlation and object selection to drive missile guidance and intercept operations.
