Ballistic Targeting

Ballistic targeting is a method used to predict the future position of a moving object by analyzing its current trajectory, speed, and other factors. It involves calculating where the target will be at a specific time, so an interceptor or weapon can be aimed accurately, even if the target moves unpredictably or at high speed. This technique is essential in missile defense, artillery, and surveillance systems to effectively engage fast-moving or distant targets, ensuring accurate interception or monitoring by accounting for projectile motion and environmental influences.
