A method and system for coordinating munitions in a salvo to form a constellation in a Global Positioning System (GPS) denied attack of a plurality of targets. Each munition is provided with a datalink communication system to communicate with other munitions and a navigation system for guiding the munition in flight. An estimated position of each munition is determined relative to the other munitions in the salvo via each munitions' datalink communication system. Two-Way Timing and Ranging (TRTW) techniques are utilized to determine positioning of each munition relative to one another. A distance range of each munition relative to the other munitions in the salvo is determined via each munitions' datalink communication system. A constellation formation of the plurality of munitions in the salvo is determined based upon the determined relative position and distance range of each munition relative to one another. A target seeker basket coordinate respectively for each munition in the constellation formation is determined relative to an array of targets. Each munition in the constellation is then navigated in flight to its respective target seeker basket coordinate via its navigation system, wherein navigating to a respective target seeker basket includes coordinating a flight path of each munition in the constellation relative to one another to its respective determined target seeker basket. And coordinating the flight path of each munition includes determining an Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) for each munition relative to its determined target seeker basket.

A method including obtaining at each of a plurality of nodes navigation data of the node, communicating at each node its navigation data to the other nodes via each node's datalink communication system, receiving at each node navigation data communicated from the other nodes, determining at each node distance range of the node relative to the other nodes for which navigation data was received, determining at each node a constellation of the nodes as a function of the navigation data of the node, the navigation data received from the other nodes, and the distance range of the node relative to the other nodes, accessing formation constraints to form the constellation at each node, calculating at each node first guidance commands to maneuver the node to adjust the constellation to be in compliance with the formation constraints; and navigating each node to execute a maneuver based on the first guidance commands.

A system comprising an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) configured to transition from a terminal homing mode to a target search mode, responsive to an uplink signal and/or an autonomous determination of scene change.

A method is provided to improve the impact point for at least one subsequent projectile fired towards a target, launched after an initial projectile, where the subsequent projectiles can alter their course, based on information on the previous projectiles' time of automatic detonation, to improve the ability to detect a target. A projectile and a fuse are also provided.

Systems and methods for deploying smart munitions may provide targeting metadata generated by surveillance networks to munitions deployment and guidance systems for smart munitions. Targeting metadata may be received by a conduit system and automatically processed to generate guidance and deployment data actionable by a munitions deployment platform.

A system comprising an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) configured to transition from a terminal homing mode to a target search mode, responsive to an uplink signal and/or an autonomous determination of scene change.

An apparatus includes at least one memory configured to store map data. The apparatus also includes at least one processor configured to segment one or more objects from one or more environment surfaces in the map data. The at least one processor is also configured to determine an offset based on a projectile drift. The at least one processor is further configured to generate a safety bounding box around each of the one or more objects using the offset.

An ordnance munition is included in an intelligent ordnance projectile delivery system and equipped with targeting and guidance systems that allow the ordnance munition to collaborate with other devices to intelligently select targets and/or to guide the ordnance munition to its selected target. The ordnance munition may be configured to generate first location information based on its determined approximate location, send the generated first location information to a wireless transceiver in proximity to the first ordnance munition, and receive location information from the wireless transceiver in response. The ordnance munition may determine its more precise location based on the received location information, and generating second location information based on the more precise location. The ordnance munition may change or adjust its flight path or trajectory based on the generated second location information.

A spatially-distributed architecture (SDA) of antennas transmits respective uniquely coded signals. A first receiver having a known position in a coordinate system defined by the SDA receives reflected versions of the uniquely coded signals. A first processor receives the reflected versions of the uniquely coded signals and identifies a position of a non-cooperative object in the coordinate system. A platform with a platform receiver receives non-reflected versions of the uniquely coded signals. The platform determines a position of the platform in the coordinate system. In an example, the platform uses a self-determined position and a position of the non-cooperative object communicated from the SDA to navigate or guide the platform relative to the non-cooperative object. In another example, the platform uses a self-determined position and information from an alternative signal source in a second coordinate system to guide the platform. Guidance solutions may be generated in either coordinate system.

Systems and methods that can be used in lightweight vehicles, such as lightweight small Armed Aerial Scout (AAS) vehicles, and can provide small, lightweight weapons capable of “Fire and Forget” type performance to defeat the next generation “Swarm Weapon Systems”, such as, groups of high speed attack boats armed with anti ship weapons, are disclosed.
