A fire control system for a boost phase threat missile includes sensors for generating target-missile representative signals, and a multi-hypothesis track filter, which estimates the states of various target hypotheses. The estimated states are typed to generate hypotheses and their likelihoods. The states, hypotheses and likelihoods are applied to a multihypothesis track filter, and the resulting propagated states are applied to an engagement planner, together with the hypotheses and likelihoods. The engagement planner initializes the interceptor(s). Interceptor guidance uses the initialization and the propagated states and typing information to command the interceptor.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for intercepting a ballistic target missile in its boost phase, said method comprising the steps of: using multiple target hypotheses to estimate the state of said target missile, and generate estimated target missile states; propagating said estimated target missile states to produce propagated target missile states; from said propagated target missile states, planning an intercept of said target missile; and further comprising the step of guiding an interceptor missile to intercept said target missile. 2. A method according to claim 1, wherein said step of guiding includes the step of: generating interceptor missile states; and propagating said interceptor missile states. 3. A method according to claim 1, further comprising, between said steps of using multiple target hypotheses to estimate the state of said target missile and propagating said estimated target missile states, the step of estimating the likelihood of a target hypothesis being correct in order to improve said steps of (a) propagating said estimated target missile states and (b) planning an intercept of said target missile. 4. A method according to claim 3, further comprising the step of guiding said interceptor missile according to said plan to intercept said target missile. 5. A method for intercepting a target missile in its boost phase, said method comprising the steps of: generating sensed signals representing the target missile; applying said sensed signals to a track filter to generate multiple hypotheses of said target missile states; typing said multiple hypotheses of said target missile states to thereby generate likelihoods of the hypotheses being correct; propagating said multiple hypotheses of said target missile states to thereby generate multiple propagated states of said target missile; using said likelihoods, said multiple propagated states, and information relating to at least one available interceptor missile to plan an engagement by scheduling the launch and intercept times of said target missile; using said planned engagement, said likelihood information, said multiple propagated states of said target missile, and interceptor missile state information for controlling the guidance of said interceptor missile. 6. A method for boost phase engagement planning against missiles in their boost phase, said method comprising the steps of: sensing a target to produce target-representative signals representing at least target position; applying said target-representative signals to a multi-hypothesis filter for producing at least smoothed position, velocity, and mass flow rate information defining the state of said target; typing said smoothed position, velocity, and mass flow rate information to assign probabilities to various hypotheses of the missile type; propagating the state of said target forward in time to produce a plurality of propagated target state hypotheses; choosing an interceptor having known characteristics; from the target states, the likelihood, and said known characteristics, choosing a launch time for said interceptor and a estimated time of intercept; launching said interceptor at the chosen launch time; guiding said interceptor to intercept using said probabilities to various hypotheses of the missile type and said plurality of propagated target state hypotheses. 7. A method according to claim 6, further comprising the step, following said step of from the target states, the likelihood, and said known characteristics, choosing a launch time for said interceptor and a estimated time of intercept, of initializing said interceptor with initial guidance information derived from said target states, the likelihood, and said known characteristics.
