Azimuth |
LongitudeUnit |
Real Number |
Dihedral angle between north vector and velocity vector about the detic nadir vector.
The velocity vector is the velocity of the object, as observed in the object's
central body fixed coordinate system. |
Elevation |
AngleUnit |
Real Number |
Angle between the velocity vector and the local horizontal plane.
The velocity vector is the velocity of the object, as observed in the object's
central body fixed coordinate system. |
Angle Off Boresight |
AngleUnit |
Real Number |
The complimentary angle to the elevation (i.e., 90 deg minus the elevation). |
Horizontal Angle |
AngleUnit |
Real Number |
The apparent angle to the target object from the base object, defined by arctan(cos(azimuth)/tan(elevation)). |
Vertical Angle |
AngleUnit |
Real Number |
The apparent angle to the target object from the base object, defined by arctan(sin(azimuth)/tan(elevation)). |
Range |
DistanceUnit |
Real Number |
The range (i.e., distance between the primary and secondary object)
at the given time. |
Distance Off Boresight |
Unitless |
Real Number |
The apparent angle to the target object from the base object, defined by tan(angle off boresight). |
