Abstract

A multiple task user based weapons system capable of neutralizing a variety of designated target types within a real time interval well below conventional systems faced with equivalent tasks. Said weapon system is described as a transector device. Target acquisition, assignment, pursuit and engagement of said targets by dedicated systems embodied within said transector device, including automated projectiles are described in detail. Additionally, the various options or strategies involved in neutralization of said designated targets to the exclusion of equivalent or similar non-designated targets are defined in the disclosure. Further the implementation interactive expert programs, embodying statistical analysis, pruning, probablistic mechanisms and other processes are described in relation to the operation of the aforesaid transector device.
