TransVelocity
MATLAB
[V,V_TP,V_TT] = TransVelocity([x],S,[Atm])
Description

Computes the line-of-sight velocity transverse to the propagation direction for platform motion, target motion, and natural wind. Assumes coordinate system rotated to be aligned with target transverse velocity vector.

Parameters
Parameters 
Description 
x [vector] 
(Optional) Position along path, normalized to slant range (0-1). Not required if Atm is a discrete structure from AtmStruct - ignored if passed in and Atm is discrete. 
S [struct] 
Engagement parameters. Can be a structure from EngagementStruct or GeomStruct. If a structure from GeomStruct is passed in as S, the engagement structure will be computed. 
Atm [struct] 
Atmospheric modeling parameters from AtmStruct. Atm must have wind profile if calculation with wind is desired.

Description 
V [vector] 
Magnitude of path-transverse velocity (m/s) 
V_TP [vector] 
Path-trans. velocity component in "parallel" direction (m/s) 
V_TT [vector] 
Path-trans. velocity component in "transverse" direction (m/s) 
Examples

  • [V,V_TP,V_TT] = TRANSVELOCITY(X,S)
  • [V,V_TP,V_TT] = TRANSVELOCITY(S,AtmStruct)
  • [V,V_TP,V_TT] = TRANSVELOCITY(X,S,AtmStruct)
