Filed:

Nov 3, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/962792

Inventors:

Gregory R. Barnes - La Palma CA

Assignee:

Raytheon Company - Lexington MA

International Classification:

F41G 900

US Classification:

89 111

Abstract:

A knowledge based threat evaluation and weapon assignment (TEWA) system and method. Upon identification of a hostile class track, if the track is outside national boundaries or defensive zones, a threat index is calculated to evaluate the threat. The index considers track speed, heading, altitude, and any known amplifying information such as flight size, airframe type, weapons load or missile type. If a threat enters a defensive zone, it becomes a target. Automatically a trial intercept calculation (TIC) will be calculated against the target. The TIC will utilize resources allocated to the zone; and with the aid of a zone target priority knowledge database and a target/weapon pairing database, the TIC will select the best available weapon to neutralize the target. The result of the TIC will be a weapon recommendation to the weapon's controller.

Abstract:

A method, device and assembly are disclosed herein. Each of the method, device and assembly, in an embodiment, is operable to perform multiple steps for protecting a network, including adding resources to a blocklist if the resources satisfy a blockage condition. After a maturation period expires, the steps include determining whether the blocked resource is listed on a blacklist. The addition to the blocklist corresponds to a precautionary event, and the presence on the blacklist corresponds to a threat event. The steps include determining a correlation of the precautionary events to the threat events, and changing or adjusting the blockage condition as a result of the correlation outcome differing from a correlation target factor by a designated amount.
