An automated weapon system is comprised of a plurality of weapon subsystems; a targeting subsystem; a sensing subsystem; a decision subsystem; a device selection subsystem; and, trigger activation logic. The plurality of weapon subsystems each capable of firing a munition therefrom towards a respective selected target at a respective firing time. The targeting subsystem has a field of view in a target area and provides for identifying at least one said target in the field of view as a selected target. The sensing subsystem provides sensing of the selected target and tracking of location of the selected target through environment in the target area. The decision subsystem, determines where the selected target is located at a firing time responsive to the sensing subsystem. The device selection subsystem determines which of the plurality of weapon subsystems is the selected weapon subsystem in a best position for having munitions fired therefrom to strike the selected target. The trigger activation logic initiates firing of the munitions from the selected weapon subsystem at the firing time, so that the munition will hit the selected target.
