Systems, methods, and computer program products for optically identifying hostile fire strikes to a vehicle. The identification can be that the hostile fire will hit the vehicle, will likely hit the vehicle, hit the vehicle, or likely hit the vehicle. In the case of predictive hits, a warning may be output and the vehicle can take evasive and/or countermeasure actions. In the case of actual or likely strikes to the vehicle, the optical identification can map a travel path of a detected projectile to positions on the vehicle, thus identifying a likely position or area of projectile impact. Such data can be used for inspection and maintenance purposes.

1. A method for indicating damage caused by a fired projectile, comprising: electronically detecting infrared radiation of a projectile in a field of view (FOV);electronically determining a travel path of the projectile based on said electronically detecting infrared radiation of the projectile in the FOV;responsive to said electronically determining a travel path, generating probabilistic data including a hit probability representing the likelihood that the projectile has hit or will hit a structure associated with the FOV; andgenerating an indication perceptible to a human based on the probabilistic data,wherein the indication is not a deployment of countermeasures. 2. A method for indicating damage caused by a fired projectile, comprising: electronically detecting infrared radiation of a projectile in a field of view (FOV);electronically determining a travel path of the projectile based on said electronically detecting infrared radiation of the projectile in the FOV;responsive to said electronically determining a travel path, generating probabilistic data including a hit probability representing the likelihood that the projectile has hit or will hit a structure associated with the FOV; andgenerating an indication based on the probabilistic data,wherein the probabilistic data indicates that the structure was likely hit when the hit probability exceeds a threshold amount. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the probabilistic data indicates that the structure will likely be hit when the hit probability exceeds a threshold amount. 4. A method for indicating damage caused by a fired projectile, comprising: electronically detecting infrared radiation of a projectile in a field of view (FOV);electronically determining a travel path of the projectile based on said electronically detecting infrared radiation of the projectile in the FOV;responsive to said electronically determining a travel path, generating probabilistic data including a hit probability representing the likelihood of the projectile hitting a structure associated with the FOV; andgenerating an indication based on the probabilistic data,wherein the structure is a vehicle, the indication is an audible, tactile, and/or a visual warning to an operator of the vehicle warning the operator to control the vehicle so as to take evasive action. 5. A method for indicating damage caused by a fired projectile, comprising: electronically detecting infrared radiation of a projectile in a field of view (FOV);electronically determining a travel path of the projectile based on said electronically detecting infrared radiation of the projectile in the FOV;responsive to said electronically determining a travel path, generating probabilistic data including a hit probability representing likelihood that the projectile has hit or will hit a structure associated with the FOV; andgenerating an indication based on the probabilistic data,wherein the structure is an airborne vehicle, the probabilistic data is indicative of the projectile hitting or likely hitting the airborne vehicle, and the indication is for an air or a maintenance crew member indicating that the airborne vehicle was hit or was likely hit and an approximation or estimation of where the airborne vehicle was hit or was likely hit for post-flight inspection and repair. 6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the structure is a vehicle; andwherein the vehicle comprises a processor configured to perform the detecting, the determining, and/or the generating probabilistic data. 7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the structure is a first vehicle; andwherein a second vehicle comprises a processor configured to perform the detecting, the determining, and/or the generating probabilistic data. 8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the hit probability is a percentage certainty that the projectile will hit the structure associated with the FOV. 9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the hit probability is a percentage certainty that the structure associated with the FOV was hit by the projectile. 10. The method according to claim 1, wherein the detecting takes place on a vehicle. 11. The method according to claim 10, wherein the vehicle is an aircraft. 12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the aircraft is airborne during the detecting. 13. The method according to claim 10, wherein the structure is the vehicle. 14. The method according to claim 13, wherein the vehicle is airborne during the detecting.
