This system helps pilots understand the chances of their aircraft's weapons hitting a target, or the target's weapons hitting them. It works by first gathering complex performance data for different aircraft and weapon combinations, then simplifying this data into a mathematical formula. The key numbers for this formula are then sent to the aircraft, which uses them to quickly calculate and display the engagement probabilities to the pilot. The claims specifically describe using a generic polynomial for this mathematical representation.
Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of advanced embedded processors and efficient machine learning algorithms. These advancements now make the real-time calculation and display of complex weapon engagement probabilities more feasible and less resource-intensive on an aircraft.
