Machine to machine targeting maintaining positive identification

A method of targeting, which involves capturing a first video of a scene about a potential targeting coordinate by a first video sensor (102) on a first aircraft (100); transmitting the first video (232) and associated potential targeting coordinate by the first aircraft; receiving the first video on a first display in communication with a processor, the processor also receiving the potential targeting coordinate; selecting the potential targeting coordinate to be an actual targeting coordinate (226) for a second aircraft (116) in response to viewing the first video on the first display; and guiding a second aircraft toward the actual targeting coordinate; where positive identification of a target (114) corresponding to the actual targeting coordinate is maintained from selection of the actual targeting coordinate.
