  2. Radial velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_Velocity

    A plane flying past a radar station: the plane's velocity vector (red) is the sum of the radial velocity (green) and the tangential velocity (blue). The radial velocity or line-of-sight velocity of a target with respect to an observer is the rate of change of the vector displacement between the two points.

  3. Proportional navigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_navigation

    Where is the acceleration perpendicular to the missile's instantaneous velocity vector, is the proportionality constant generally having an integer value 3-5 (dimensionless), ˙ is the line of sight rate, and V is the closing velocity. Since the line of sight is not in general co-linear with the missile velocity vector, the applied acceleration ...

  4. Line of sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_sight

    Line-of-sight propagation, electro-magnetic waves travelling in a straight line Non-line-of-sight propagation; Line-of-sight velocity, an object's speed straight towards or away from an observer; Line-of-sight double star, one in which two stars are only coincidentally close together as seen from Earth; Beyond visual line of sight

  5. Line-of-sight propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-of-sight_propagation

    Line of sight (LoS) propagation from an antenna. Line-of-sight propagation is a characteristic of electromagnetic radiation or acoustic wave propagation which means waves can only travel in a direct visual path from the source to the receiver without obstacles. [1] Electromagnetic transmission includes light emissions traveling in a straight line.

  6. Predicted line of sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicted_line_of_sight

    Predicted line of sight (PLOS) is a method of missile targeting. In PLOS, the operator tracks the target with the missile launcher's onboard sights for a short period of time (3-5 seconds). In PLOS, the operator tracks the target with the missile launcher's onboard sights for a short period of time (3-5 seconds).

  7. Indirect fire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirect_fire

    Indirect fire is aiming and firing a projectile without relying on a direct line of sight between the gun and its target, as in the case of direct fire. Aiming is performed by calculating azimuth and inclination , and may include correcting aim by observing the fall of shot and calculating new angles.

    From the figure the received line of sight component may be written as = {() /}and the ground reflected component may be written as = {() (+ ′) / + ′}where () is the transmitted signal, is the length of the direct line-of-sight (LOS) ray, + ′ is the length of the ground-reflected ray, is the combined antenna gain along the LOS path, is the combined antenna gain along the ground-reflected ...
