1. A method comprising:
receiving data representing an agricultural object into a memory of an agricultural projectile delivery system, the agricultural object being indexed among a plurality of agricultural objects associated within a geographic boundary, wherein the agricultural projectile delivery system includes:
a first group of multiple emitters with each emitter of the first group being configured for orientation in one or more directions in space,
a first camera positioned such that agricultural projectiles emitted from the first group of multiple emitters are within a field of view of the first camera,
a second group of multiple emitters with each emitter of the second group being configured for orientation in one or more directions in space, wherein the second group of multiple emitters is located separately and apart from the first group of multiple emitters, and
a second camera positioned such that agricultural projectiles emitted from the second group of multiple emitters are within a field of view of the second camera;
identifying the agricultural object being associated with a subset of agricultural objects that includes one or more other agricultural objects;
determining a sub-class of the identified agricultural object;
based on the sub-class of the identified agricultural object, identifying one or more current actions to be performed on the identified agricultural object, the one or more actions selected from a set of different performable actions for different sub-classes of the identified agricultural object;
selecting via a processor of the agricultural projectile delivery system a plurality of emitters of the first group of multiple emitters with which to perform the one or more actions associated with the agricultural object;
adjusting the selected plurality of emitters each to an orientation to implement an agricultural projectile trajectory; and
configuring the agricultural projectile delivery system to activate each of the selected plurality of emitters to propel an agricultural projectile, according to the selected emitter's agricultural projectile trajectory, to intercept the agricultural object.
