Parameters 

Description 

TargDesc [string] 

(Optional) Name of a function or function handle to a function that returns a target structure or a string indicating one of the target shapes available ('cylinder,' 'box,' or 'targetboard') 

p1...pN [list] 

List of parameters for input to TargDesc (see below) 

class [scalar] 

(Optional) Identifier for target class (see ABLCaseTargData) 

Stage [scalar] 

(Optional) Missile stage (1 or 2) (see ABLCaseTargData) 

DataClassification [string] 

(Optional) Classification of the data. Can be either 'U' for unclassified or 'S' for secret. 

TargDesc 

'cylinder,' models a cylinder centered around the x-axis with motion in the x-axis 'box,' models a 3 dimensional box with motion in the x-axis and a zenith direction in the z-axis 'targetboard,' models 2 dimensional targetboard in the xy-plane with motion in the x-axis and zenith direction in the z-axis 

p1 [scalar] 

(Optional) Radius of cylinder. Defaults to 1 m. 

p2 [scalar] 

(Optional) Number of facets around the diameter to model. Defaults to 20. (Optional) Square root of the number of facets on a side. Defaults to a single facet per side. (Optional) Square root of the total number of facets. Defaults to a single facet. 

p3 [scalar] 

(Optional) Length of the cylinder. Defaults to twice the radius. 

p1 [array] 

(Optional) Lengths of the sides. If scalar, will model a cube. Defaults to 1 m cube. (Optional) Lengths of the sides. If scalar will model a square. Defaults to 1 m square. 

Return Values 

Description 

Targ [struct] 

Structure of target parameters 

Targ.class [scalar] 

Target class 

Targ.FuelType [string] 

Fuel type for the target booster 

Targ.Stage [scalar] 

Current selected stage - used for engagement modeling. Default value is 1. 

Targ.trackpt [vector] 

Location of track point relative to missile nose (m) 

Targ.BILLpt [vector] 

Location of BILL point relative to missile nose (m). If it is empty, the BILL point is the default BILLpt in Targ.defaultBILLpt. This field is almost always empty unless a specific BILLpt is desired. To force the use of a specific BILLpt, use CaseStruct to change 'BILLpt'. 

Targ.defaultBILLpt 

The minimum of the isoplanatic BILL point and the Beacon Margin (P.Tx.AO.BeaMargin + Targ.trackpt). 

Targ.HELpt [vector] 

Location of HEL relative to missile nose (m). If it is empty, the HEL point for an engagement will be computed based on information in HELPointing. 

Targ.TargetRadius [scalar] 

Radius of target body 

Targ.StageLength [scalar] 

Physical length of each stage body (m) 

Targ.StartTALO [scalar] 

Start time of the current stage (s) after lift-off 

Targ.StopTALO [scalar] 

Stop time of the current stage (s) after lift-off 

Targ.EngageCond [scalar] 

Flag of 0,1, or 2 indicating which engagement condition to use: CloudFreeAlt, Co-Altitude, Elevation angle>=0, respectively 

Targ.Flyout [struct] 

Structure containing target trajectory data 

Targ.Lethality [struct] 

Structure of target lethality data 

Targ.HELPointing [struct] 

Parameters for computing aimpoint 

Targ.Object [struct] 

Parameters for the target when TargDesc is one of the standard object models
