Sensor: Pattern Intersection At Distance

Allows user to select either range or altitude as additional limits for sensor projection. This means that sensor intersection points are computed where the sensor field of view intersects the limiting surface - either range or altitude.

Type: Fixed data given specified evaluation intervals and step sizes.

NameDimensionTypeDescription
LatitudeLatitudeUnitReal NumberThe detic latitude (i.e., angle between the detic subpoint's surface normal vector and the XY plane.)
LongitudeLongitudeUnitReal NumberThe detic longitude (i.e., angle from the X-axis locating the projection of the detic subpoint's surface normal vector onto the XY plane.) Longitude increases in the direction found using the right-hand rule about the Z-axis.
AltitudeDistanceUnitReal NumberThe altitude value (i.e., magnitude of the relative position vector between the object and its detic subpoint).
CBF XDistanceUnitReal NumberThe X component of the position vector of the intersection point, expressed in the sensor's central body fixed system.
CBF YDistanceUnitReal NumberThe Y component of the position vector of the intersection point, expressed in the sensor's central body fixed system.
CBF ZDistanceUnitReal NumberThe Z component of the position vector of the intersection point, expressed in the sensor's central body fixed system.
RangeDistanceUnitReal Number The range (i.e., distance between the primary and secondary object) at the given time.
Distance AlongGroundTrackDistanceUnitReal NumberA measure of distance to the intersection point along the ground track direction. Points forward of the sensor's detic subpoint are considered to have positive distances while points behind the detic subpoint will have negative distances. The distance is computed from the detic subpoint to the projection of the intersection point to a plane through the detic subpoint aligned with the ground track at that point.
Distance PerpToGroundTrackDistanceUnitReal NumberA measure of distance to the intersection point perpendicular to the ground track direction. Points left of the sensor's detic subpoint are considered to have positive distances while points right of the detic subpoint will have negative distances. The distance is computed from the detic subpoint to the projection of the intersection point to a plane through the detic subpoint perpendicular to the ground track at that point.
UTM ZoneUnitlessTextThe UTM Zone character indicator for the detic subpoint. Available only when the central body is Earth.
UTM EastingDistanceUnitReal NumberThe easting value within the UTM zone for the detic subpoint. Available only when the central body is Earth.
UTM NorthingDistanceUnitReal NumberThe northing value within the UTM zone for the detic subpoint. Available only when the central body is Earth.
MGRS CellUnitlessTextThe MGRS (Military Grid Reference System) code for the cell area containing the detic subpoint. Available only when the central body is Earth.
