Wich is easy, as long as the target (or targets) haven't changed course and/or speed. If you're initial plot is accurate and if your target(s) continue on a steady course and speed, it's a simple matter of extending the targets track and update their position on time passed/distance travelled.
If target is heading 90 degrees true and his speed is 10 knots.
One hour later he'll be exactly 10 nautical miles east of his last known position.
Again, not exactly rocket science.
Things get a little more interesting off course if the target changes heading and/or speed.
