A system and method for tracking non-cooperative obstacles during operation of a vehicle is provided. The system may include a radar system, an optical sensor, and a processor. The radar system can be coupled to the vehicle and configured to scan a first airspace and generate radar information having a first resolution. The optical sensor can be coupled to the vehicle and configured to image a second airspace and generate optical information at a second resolution that is higher than the first resolution, where the second airspace is within said first airspace and includes a non-cooperative obstacle. The processor can be configured to identify the non-cooperative obstacle within the first airspace based at least in part on the radar information, and direct the optical sensor toward a location of the non-cooperative obstacle using the radar information.
