The coordinate system in which results are expressed.

Name Dimension Type Description
Time DateFormat Real Number Time.
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).
