This paper presents the results of an integrated target tracking, pursuit and intercept strategy. It is designed to maximize
the overlap between the engagement envelope of a data linked weapon and the possible predicted locations of an agile
target. Once the target track has been initialized, a Markov Model calculates all possible locations of the target up to the
time of intercept, approximately 30 seconds from launch. These locations and associated probabilities are updated during
the tracking process. This includes target maneuvers, which are detected using an IMM estimator. The engagement
envelope is maximized at fixed points in time. In doing so the intercept decision is delayed until, there is a high
probability of a successful interception.
